Solidarity with Ukraine

It is with heavy hearts that we follow the news of war in Ukraine.

We recognize that students and staff may be affected by the conflict. Please know that we are here to support you. If you see those who are struggling, please encourage them to reach out to a Family Wellness Worker or teacher within your school.

On Tuesday, March 1st, all EICS schools, and facilities will be standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine by wearing the national colours of blue and yellow. At 11:00 a.m., we will have a moment of silence across the division to pray for peace in the Eastern Europe.

2021/22 Alberta Education Assurance (AEA) Survey

Thank you once again for completing the EICS Assurance survey. All surveys have now been completed.

If you have a child in grade 4, 7, or 10, you may have received a survey from Alberta Education to complete as a parent. This survey closes March 25th. Students in Grades 7 and 10 will also complete these surveys as well.

Parent access as Gym spectators

In line with the move to remove public health restrictions by the Government of Alberta, Elk Island Catholic Schools will now invite spectators to our gymnasiums and schools to watch sports events beginning Thursday, February 17, 2022. We encourage families to sit together as a group and masks are still required for all adults in conjunction with current provincial public health regulations. To keep up to date on all the guidelines in the EICS 2022 School Plan, please refer to the EICS School Plan

We are very excited to be able to welcome our families and community back into our schools and want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during the past two years.
