January 11, 2024 -- The letter below and linked here was sent to all school families today. Note that this is a revision of the original letter. The original letter stated in error that January 15th was a PD day for all students. It is an elementary school PD day and there is no school for elementary school students only.
This letter was sent by email and text link to all school families. To download a copy of this letter, please click here.
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.
JANUARY 3, 2024 — Tomorrow marks Canada's second National Ribbon Skirt Day. Parliament declared the official day after being inspired by Isabella Kulak, a member of the Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan, who faced ridicule for wearing a ribbon skirt to her rural school.
Traditionally, ribbon skirts are worn by Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse individuals during ceremony and special community events. The skirts represent strength, pride and identity for those who wear them and are an important part of Indigenous culture.
