MARCH 17, 2022 -- Regina Public Schools is committed to the mental health and well-being of all employees and students. The school division and the Regina Board of Education place a priority on diversity as critically important to our students, staff and culture. In the fall, a number of staff at Division Office, as well as the Mental Health and Well-Being Working Group, identified that the long north hallway was a blank canvas that needed to be bright, inspirational/morale lifting, diverse, inclusive and reflective of Regina Public Schools’ Shared Values, mission and priorities. As a result, the staff formed a committee and set the wheels in motion for a collaborative word collage, various Shared Values logos and a wall mural.

March 11, 2022 -- Transportation with specialized equipment for wheelchairs has been cancelled due to windchill of -40C. All other student transportation is operating today. Please bundle up and call school with any absences. Affected school families will be contacted.

MARCH 4, 2022 -- Students at The Crescents School have been keeping active and warm during the cold days of winter.

Vice-Principal Mark Wilson has provided numerous Practical and Applied Arts activities for students. Grades 7/8 students experimented with programming various robots, and the Structured Learning Classroom followed a recipe to make biscuits. Yum!

MARCH 3, 2022 -- On January 28, 2022, Grade 5 students at Plainsview School had an opportunity to experience Outdoor Education right in their own backyard!

Students learned alongside John from the Outdoor Environmental Education department and heard all about life in the North. Students helped create and light a Qulliq, which is a type of oil lamp traditionally used by Arctic peoples. While outside, students also played various Inuit games, including some favourites such as Leg Wrestle, High Kick and Hoot Hoot.

Thank you to the Outdoor Education staff for this exciting opportunity!
