2025-2026 EICS Education Assurance Survey
Elk Island Catholic Schools is committed to enhancing the delivery of faith-integrated education and holistic support for our students and staff. As part of this mission, we’ve launched our 2025-2026 Education Assurance Survey, providing an opportunity for families, staff, and students to share their perspectives.
The survey, which was was sent out by email on Thursday, Jan. 22, helps us to understand how well our EICS community feels we are meeting our mission to provide educational opportunities rooted in Gospel values, celebrate and nurture students, and guide them on a lifelong spiritual journey.
How to Participate
- Parents/guardians and staff will receive a survey link via email. If you don’t see it in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder.
- If you have multiple children attending EICS schools, you’re encouraged to complete the survey once for each school your children attend to reflect on each child’s unique experience.
- Students in Grades 4-12 will complete the survey during school hours.
- If you have any questions, or did not receive the survey, please email us at eicsassurance@eics.ab.ca.
The feedback provided by respondents is anonymous and plays a critical role in guiding decision-making at both the school and division levels.
All surveys must be completed by Friday, Feb. 13.
Your input is invaluable in helping us continue to grow and thrive as a Catholic school community. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and for being an essential part of our mission!

RESCHEDULED: Carnaval d'hiver
As you are aware, due to the cold weather, we had to postpone our original Carnaval date. We are happy to share that Carnaval has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 12, 2026.
We have a wonderful day of activities planned! Please note the updated details and reminders below:
2. Ice Sculptures We would love for each class to create an ice sculpture. Please have your child freeze a container with a removable lid (e.g., ice cream pail, margarine container, milk carton) full of coloured water for several days.
Drop-off: Please drop off ice blocks at EPK, (look for your child's class sign on the fence along the drop off lane) on Wednesday, Feb 11 (PM) or Thursday, Feb 12 (AM).
Transport: Unfortunately, ice blocks are not allowed on the bus.
Preparation: Please remove the ice block from the container BEFORE dropping it off in the designated spot.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new date, please let me know. We look forward to a great celebration on February 12th!
