January 25, 2021 -- The Saskatchewan Health Authority informed us that there was one case of COVID-19 in an individual at the Regina Public Schools Division Office.

For the safety of all Division Office staff and visitors, and in consultation with Public Health, we have informed possible close contacts and provided them information about self-isolation. Close contacts are not to return to the Division Office until the completion of their quarantine period.

If there are any additional close contacts, they will be contacted directly by Public Health. A close contact is someone who has been within two metres (six feet) of someone for a cumulative 15 minutes. 

JANUARY 22, 2021 – Regina Public Schools announces the completion of an important project that will contribute to the health and safety of all students and employees in all Regina Public schools and buildings.

All Regina Public facilities now have enhanced, new air filtration systems. Announced in October and in the Return to School Parent Handbook, the school division has increased airflow and replaced or updated all ventilation systems in all its schools and buildings.

January 20, 2021 -- Ever wondered what happens when there is a case of COVID-19 at a school? A lot of work goes on behind the scenes. After the notification from Public Health, it usually begins with school division and school-based administration identifying potential close contacts in the school. This work is done in consultation with and confirmed by Public Health.

What is contact tracing? We are trying to find out where the staff member or student was on the day that they were contagious. Were they in one classroom or several? Did they go throughout the school or stay in one office? How close did they sit or stand to others and for how long?

January 14, 2021--Your Board of Education and school division would like to know your thoughts about the recent temporary remote learning in which all students participated, before and after the holiday break.

We are asking parents, guardians, students and employees to participate in a voluntary, anonymous and confidential survey. Deadline for completing the survey is January 29, 2021.

A summary of the survey results will be on the Regina Public Schools website, when available.

Surveys were sent home from all schools on January 14, 2021. The survey link is available here.

JANUARY 13, 2021 -- Do you have a child who is ready for Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten? Regina Public Schools is still accepting applications for Pre-Kindergarten and registrations for Kindergarten for the remainder of this school year.

For Pre-Kindergarten, children must be between three years of age as of date of application and four years of age as of December 31, 2020. Please CLICK HERE for more information.

JANUARY 5, 2021 -- Welcome back to all staff and students. Temporary remote learning has begun for all elementary, high school and eSchool students. Schools will reopen for in-class learning for elementary and high school students on Monday, January 11, 2021.

The school division office is now open for regular business hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:25 p.m. Monday to Friday. All visitors to the school division office or to schools are asked to please follow instructions posted on every building entrance, including using the QR code for potential future contact tracing. All visitors must also  wear masks and use the hand sanitizer available at every entrance.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 -- Henry Braun School is proud to present “What the Dickens?”, a feature film based on the novella, “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens.

Staff and students weren’t able to put on the traditional Christmas concert this year so they created this film instead. It is their way of continuing to strive to be their best and think about the importance of kindness.

If you have a way to connect via HDMI or screen sharing, please do put it on the big screen and make some popcorn to enjoy the show.
