Each year, Alberta Education and Childcare invites parents and guardians to take part in the Education Assurance Survey to gather insights into student learning experiences and school environments.
The 2026 survey is due by March 6th, 2026. Your school has shared access details.
Thank you for being part of the conversation and supporting continuous improvement in education.

At Grasslands, we care deeply about every child’s learning journey. Over time, the odd absences can add up, especially in the early years, and we want families to have the information they need to support success.
