Insight is a group-administered test of cognitive abilities, which was administered to all grade 5 and 8 classes in November. The assessment is designed to measure cognitive abilities including reasoning, comprehension, memory, and visual/auditory processing. The results provide information to help teachers recognize student strengths and challenges, and plan for additional support as needed. These results are available in the Parent Portal in PowerSchool. If you would like to learn more about this assessment tool, please visit https://www.canadiantestcentre.com/INSIGHT/INSIGHT-Home.php.

Get Involved: Minister’s Youth Council Recruitment

The education ministry is looking to attract approximately 40 junior and senior high school students between the ages of 14 and 19 with diverse interests, identities, backgrounds, and perspectives.

Participation in the council will give students the opportunity to have a voice in Alberta’s education system, build leadership skills, and leave a legacy for future students. It also looks great on scholarship applications! The deadline for students to apply is March 25, 2022

An online donation form has been set up and is accessible to all EICS parents and guardians within the Powerschool parent portal, under the fees section. Please direct parents to powerschool. Staff can use the link below if they would like to make a donation.
