Close Contacts in Schools

September 20, 2021--On September 17, 2021, the Government of Saskatchewan implemented a Public Health Order that includes specific directives for schools that support Regina Public Schools safety protocols, including the requirement of mask use in all our schools and facilities.

The following new Government of Saskatchewan requirements help clarify and explain how your school administration will respond and communicate with parents when there is a case of COVID-19 in the school.

United for Change Award!

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 -- Congratulations to the Regina Public and Catholic Schools Attendance Matters Committee for receiving the 2019 United for Change Award! This annual award is presented by United Way Regina to a person, organization or group who makes a positive difference in our community. The Attendance Matters Committee is dedicated to increasing attendance at schools and spreading awareness about how crucial school attendance is, especially in the early years.

World Suicide Prevention Day

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 -- World Suicide Prevention Day, observed on September 10th, is an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. Every year, nearly one million people take their own lives, and there are many more who attempt suicide.

Masks Required in High Schools

September 3, 2021 -- Effective Tuesday, September 7, 2021, Regina Public Schools will be requiring mask use in all its high schools. This means that masks will need to be worn by all employees, students and visitors at Regina Public Schools’ eight high schools, Campus Regina Public and the Allan Blakeney Adult Campus.

This decision is made following recommendations from Regina area Medical Health Officers and the continued increase in COVID-19 caseload in the Regina area.

Transportation Information for all families

August 31, 2021 -- Today, some Regina Public Schools families may have received an email regarding student transportation. This communication was sent by Regina Catholic Schools in error.

For your information, Regina Public Schools shares some contact information with Regina Catholic Schools because both school divisions share several joint transportation routes.

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience these erroneous communications may have caused your family. We are working to correct the issue to ensure that it does not happen again.

If your child is transported, you will have already received information about Regina Public Schools transportation that was sent out earlier in August.
