Dear Regina Public Schools Families:

FEBRUARY 15, 2024—Wishing everyone a safe, fun and relaxing Family Day and week off of school from February 19th to 23rd.

From Tuesday, February 20th to Friday, February 23rd, the Division Office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (and closed over the noon hour as usual). Regular hours and school classes will resume on Monday, February 26, 2024.

February 14-2024 -- The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation announced they will withdraw noon-hour supervision provincewide on Friday, February 16,2024. Without having an adequate number of supervisors, schools cannot safely have students in the building over the lunch break.

As a result, the school day is being adjusted and students will be dismissed at 12 Noon in elementary schools and 12:50 p.m. in high schools.

The elementary school schedule on Friday, February 16 will be as follows:

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.
