All Student Transportation Cancelled

December 7, 22 -- All student transportation has been cancelled due to windchill of -50C. If students will be absent, please report absences to school. Note our procedures below. If wind chill is colder than -40C, student transportation will be cancelled for those requiring specialized buses with wheelchair lifts. If wind chill is colder than -45C, all student transportation will be cancelled. Regina Public Schools' Transportation office will contact parents in the event of a cancellation, but sometimes calls take time to get through. Please watch weather reports and be aware when we cancel.

Severe Weather and the Student

Severe weather is a way of life in Saskatchewan. In Regina, it gets cold in the winter. There are severe weather conditions that include snow, ice, blizzards and windchill  that we have come to expect.

Read this article about what to expect and how to provide feedback.

Going to school is also a way of life for our students and staff, regardless of the weather. Very rarely are Regina Public schools closed during a regular school day. Even in a blizzard! School buses and transportation similarly will run in most temperatures.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 -- On February 7, 2000, the United Nations General Assembly officially designated November 25th as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This campaign aims to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls around the world, calling for global action to increase awareness, promote advocacy and create opportunities for discussion on challenges and solutions.

According to the United Nations, violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today and remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it.

CUPE 3766 Toy Drive

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 -- Regina Public Schools' CUPE 3766 members are once again requesting toy donations for families at Albert, Arcola, Judge Bryant, Centennial, Connaught, Coronation Park, The Crescents, Dr. George Ferguson, Glen Elm, Imperial, Henry Janzen, Kitchener, McDermid, Plainsview, Rosemont, Seven Stones, Thomson and Walker Schools.
