OLMP Athletics is looking for a junior high B team coach for the basketball season!

If you are interested, please contact Mr. Enright at stephen.enright@eics.ab.ca and visit our website for more details on volunteering at OLMP Catholic School.

Our final tournament was Saturday, November 25.

The students all improved a great deal and showed lots of enthusiasm.

Keep playing!

We had our wrap-up game on Monday night.

The kids all improved a great deal from the start of the season.

Thanks to all the kids and parents for coming to the final game!

If you received a mug as your prize at the Dr. Russell event, but did not grab a straw, please email Mrs. Gumpinger at beckyg@eics.ab.ca. She can make arrangements to send it home with your child.

Please take a few minutes to complete your child's demographic forms, medical forms, and all yearly consents (FOIP, tech use, field trips) on PowerSchool.

It is important that this information be kept up-to-date every year, especially if there is a change in medical status, parent/guardian/emergency contact information, and/or address.

If you need assistance with using PowerSchool - including completing and submitting yearly consent and demographic forms online - please visit the main EICS website for instructions and helpful video tutorials.

Student absences can be reported through the Parent Portal on PowerSchool.

PowerSchool can also be used to view grades and report cards, pay fees, and update student information (including medical information).

You can view the EICS Parent Technology Handbook for further details on these items.

Our Elk Island Catholic Schools IT department is continuing to work on implementing additional features, so keep an eye out in our Smores for future updates!

Fees have now been added to student accounts.

Please make alternate plans for a pick-up/drop-off location as our staff parking lot is no longer available as an option. This area has become far too congested in the past and is an extreme OH & S concern. Also, to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and bus drivers, PLEASE STAY CLEAR OF BUS LANES AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF OUR DAY.

Please follow the flow of traffic in the student parking lot on the south side of our building. You will notice that there is no longer a "turn left" option (right turns only) when you exit the parking lot.

Alternatively, please also look at streets/locations other than the alleys that are close to our school where students can safely access our school site.

While we understand that this takes away some convenience, we are concerned about the safety of your children.

Thank you for your attention to this.
