Shared Values Recognition Program—Call for Nominations

FEBRUARY 14, 2024—Regina Public Schools employees and those who work or volunteer at our schools make the difference in the lives and the futures of all our students. A smile from a child, a “Thank you” from a parent or a “Great job!” from an employer is proof of how we are contributing to the Regina community.

A true indicator of merit, however, is peer and community recognition. Sixteen years ago, the Regina Board of Education introduced the Shared Values Recognition Program. Since that time, many exceptional staff members who have most exemplified the Shared Values were recognized and honoured.

February 11 is 211 Day!

FEBRUARY 9, 2024—Sunday, February 11th is 211 Day across Canada! 211 is a free, confidential service that connects people with community programs and social services. 211 Saskatchewan offers a database of over 6,000 community, social, non-clinical health and government services across our province.

February 7, 2024 - Shortly after 5:00 p.m. today, we learned that The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation announced that they will resume negotiations with the Government Trustee Bargaining Committee.  This means that the scheduled provincewide withdrawal of noon-hour supervision planned for tomorrow, Thursday, February 8th has been cancelled. 

All schools will operate on their normal schedule, including noon-hour supervision.  Transportation services will also operate as usual.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please email the school division at info@rbe.sk.ca or call 306-523-3000.

 

Adjusted School Day Due to STF Job Action

February 5, 2024 - The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation announced they will withdraw noon-hour supervision on Thursday, February 8, 2024. Without having an adequate number of supervisors, schools cannot safely have students in the building over the lunch hour.

As a result, the school day is being shortened and students will be dismissed at 12 Noon in elementary schools and 1 p.m. in high schools.
