More Than Just a Tipi Raising

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 -- A tipi is a portable conical structure made of skins, cloth or canvas on a frame of poles used by Indigenous Peoples of North America. The purpose of the tipi is to provide shelter, warmth and connectedness between family and community. It not only provided physical support for Indigenous Peoples, it also has many teachings about humanity’s relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds. The tipi today is still used for modern-day ceremonial gatherings and teachings. It is an iconic symbol for representing Indigenous Peoples’ identity.

Former Trustee Honoured

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.
