This Week at École OLPH
May 7 to 11, 2018
Message from the Office
Dear Parents,
Now that the weather is cooperating, all Junior High students that wish to leave the school grounds during the lunch hour are required to supply the office with a completed "Junior High Permission to Leave School Grounds" form.
This form is located below, as well as, the school website (www.olph.eics.ab.ca) under the Parents tab.
This weekend, please take a moment to sit down with your child(ren) to discuss the importance and responsibility of being safe while using the internet / chat rooms. This will continue to support our Digital Citizenship program.
God Bless

Gearing up for Year 3 of the One-to-One Technology Program
Dear Parents,
With the successful implementation of the One to One technology program, EICS is excited to enter into year 3 of the initiative.
Beginning in September of 2018-2019, the option to purchase or lease to own a Chromebook will be offered by Staples and not directly from the school.
Because of the positive feedback we’ve received from you about the service and support provided by Staples, we continue to recommend them to our parent community.
Here is a link to their most recent offer, which now includes payment options.
We will continue to maintain a small inventory of Chromebooks at the school in the event that the student forgets to bring or charge their own device.
Any further questions, please contact your school administration.
Outstanding Fees!
Dear Parents,
Please log onto your PowerSchool account to pay any outstanding Field Trip Fees, Option Fees, or Chromebook Leasing / Buyout Fees.
All Fees can be paid on-line or cash or cheque (payable to EICS) to Mme Winland in the office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact M. Morin at alyrem@eics.ab.ca or M. St. Jean at marcs@eics.ab.ca or 780-467-5631.
