These forms can be completed using the following steps:

1) Log into PowerSchool at the website https://powerschool.eics.ab.ca

2) Click "SchoolEngage" on the left hand side

3) Click the graduation hat icon to see a list of your students

4) For each student who is returning to EICS next year please click on the student, click "New" beside the form "A.9) Demographic Confirmation/Update Form" and complete and submit the form.

Registering a Student when you are new or returning to the District

Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is now open.

If you have questions about registering, please contact the school you wish to register with. School contact information is included here: https://www.eics.ab.ca/schools/our-schools

If you are registering a new student (one who has never existed in the division) please fill out the form "A.2) EICS Pre-K to 12 Registration Form - In Person Learning."

The school will then typically follow up within two weeks.

Registering a Student using your existing PowerSchool Account

If you already have access to PowerSchool with EICS (e.g. because a sibling of the student is already attending a school in our district) you can log into PowerSchool and register a new student using the following steps:

Log into https://powerschool.eics.ab.ca (contact your school if you do not know your Parent Portal Login Information).
Click "SchoolEngage Student Forms"
From the menu to the left, choose the icon to Add Student, then fill out the student's information

Click the Graduation Hat icon and click on the student you just created to see a list of available forms
Click "New" beside the registration form that is relevant for the year you are registering

NOTE:

Once you Add a new student - parents will have access to register a child for kindergarten using the "A.2) EICS Pre-K to 12 Registration Form - In Person Learning."
For current EICS pre-K students registering for kindergarten, parents just need to fill out the "A.1) 2021-2022 Kindergarten/Pre-K Preference Form." This for is used by parents of existing students at EICS to indicate their programming preferences for next year Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten programming.

To complete the form successfully you'll also need to ensure that you have a copy of the child's citizenship documentation (e.g. Canadian Birth Certificate, Permanent Residence Card, Student Study Permit, etc.). For students who are not Canadian citizens, we are also required to maintain parent documentation on file (e.g. Permanent Residence Card, Work Permit, etc.)

Once your child is registered with the district they will automatically be added to your PowerSchool account.

Religious Permeation

Effective September 1, 2010, Section 11.1 of the Alberta Human Rights Act requires school boards to provide notice to a parent or guardian of a student when educational programs include subject matter that deals primarily and explicitly with religion, sexuality, or sexual orientation.

As a Catholic school division, EICS fully permeates Catholic theology, philosophy, practices and beliefs, the principles of the Gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church in all aspects of school life. EICS must, therefore, include this notice on all registration forms.
