Principal Message
Dear Parents,
All student fees have now been adjusted on each student’s PowerSchool account.
Listed below are the options for how your account credits can be managed.
- Request to apply your credit amount to your outstanding Transportation fees or any outstanding fees within EICS
- Leave the credit on your account to be applied to next year’s school fees.
- Request to receive a reimbursement cheque for your credit amounts over $100.
Please email Mme Winland with your request at annettew@eics.ab.ca. When a request is made, each account will be reviewed for any outstanding fees and / or textbooks / library books.
For any unreturned textbooks or library books, an email will be sent to you inquiring about the missing books. Should you disregard this email, a replacement fee for all missing books will be applied to your PowerSchool account prior to any reimbursement of fees. Once the textbook / library books is returned that fee will be deleted.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mme Winland at 780-467-5631.

A Reading From The Gospel for Sunday, May 31, 2020
May 31, 2020 ~ A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."
After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
The Gospel of the Lord.

How are you?
HI Parents,
How are you doing? I saw this Parent's chore chart this past week and it reminded me about parent self-care at this time. I hope that each of you are well but if you are not, please consider implementing something simple like this.
Please give yourself grace around your expectations of online education, working from home and parenting your children simultaneously. No one was cut out to do this all at the same time, so please don't be too hard on yourself or discouraged that you are struggling with juggling all those roles. You are not alone.
If you are needing someone to talk to or you need someone to chat with your child, please know that I am here for you. Feel free to contact me at simone.moniz@eics.ab.ca
Warmest regards,
Mme Simone Moniz
Option Selections
Option selections will be sent out during the week of

EICS Transportation Fees Flexible Payment Plan Options ~ Spring 2020
We realize that it may seem confusing as to why we are sending out invoices about next September when so many things in our province are not finalized during this pandemic.
In order to start planning routes and schedules moving forward - EICS Transportation needs to have concrete numbers of students and addresses to start planning the routes and pick up/drop off stops for our EICS bus riders.
With respect to specific concerns about transportation fees and the payment plan, EICS has provided two options: 1. June 15 to December 15, or 2. September 15 to March 15. Once the plan has been set up, your child will be assigned to the bus.
As well, if you have school fees that have been credited for programming and other options for this school year that you would like applied to EICS transportation fees, you can request this by contacting the school directly. The school will confirm that all resources have been returned prior to granting the request.
Below, we have included some easy steps that parents can take to access transportation fees and specifically the payment plan. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact EICS transportation at T ransportation@eics.ab.ca or by calling (780) 449-6480.
We want to thank you for continued patience and understanding as we move through this together.
God Bless

School Fees - Sport For Life / Performing Arts / Jasper Ski Trip / Option Fees for 2019 / 2020
Our EICS School board and École OLPH Caltholic school have been working hard to settle accounts and figure out reimbursement of fees paid during the 2019/2020 school year.
This is a complicated matter that needs to be done correctly so as to ensure that families are compensated for the correct amount.
We appreciate your patience while the EICS School board and École OLPH Cathol School determines how this is to be done and takes the time to ensure all accounts are up to date. Optimistically, families should hear very shortly from École OLPH Catholic school in regards to fees already paid for this year.
Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.
God Bless
