Mental Health & Well-Being
APRIL 29, 2021 -- Rashid Heydar-Zada, a Grade 4 student at Harbour Landing School, participated in a virtual financial literacy competition and part of the Talk With Our Kids About Money program. This competition was open to Canadian students in Grades 4 to 8, and they have been working on their projects for several months.
Rashid was one of three Saskatchewan students chosen to go to the semi-finals and was the only Saskatchewan student to be selected to go to the finals where he competed against six other students from across Canada.
APRIL 28, 2021 -- Sunshine, fresh air, signs of green! When the sun shines, put on sunscreen and soak up some vitamin D. When it rains, enjoy the refreshment.
Let's get outdoors to walk, bike, work in the garden, and play. It's a welcome opportunity to unplug, recharge and calm our minds.
April 26, 2021 -- Following consultations and recommendations from Regina Medical Health Officers (RMHO), Regina Public Schools will be returning to in-class learning on Monday, May 3, 2021.
The decision to return to in-class learning follows information from RMHO showing a “distinct reduction” in new infection in both elementary and high school-aged students. RMHO supports the return to in-class learning and continues to monitor case trends.
April 20, 2021 -- Regina Public Schools is now on Facebook. We look forward to seeing school families, friends and the public following the page. The page is managed by the Communications department and will be moderated for content, much like our websites and Twitter account.
Public feedback is appreciated, as is your patience as we learn to manage this new to us (old) social media platform.
Respectful conversation is appreciated and comments that do not respect The Shared Values will be deleted. The Shared Values are I Belong, I Respect, I am Responsible and I Want to Know.
APRIL 21, 2021 -- Kindness. We can all likely think of things each day that we say or do that are acts of kindness, but why does kindness matter to our mental health and well-being?
Kindness is linked with compassion and is considered to be an antidote for isolation, which is so important at this time. It boosts our mood, strengthens our relationships, buffers negative aspects of stress, and reinforces that there is good in us! Even reflecting on times when we have shown kindness makes us feel better!
Look for ways to facilitate kindness in your workplace, community, home and social media. And be kind to yourself!
April 20, 2021 -- Following consultations and recommendations from Regina Medical Health Officers, Regina Public Schools is extending temporary remote learning (Level 4) for all Pre-K to Grade 12.
The tentative return to in-class learning for all students will be on May 3, 2021. Previously, students were scheduled to return to in-class learning on April 26, 2021. Regina Public Schools is consulting with Regina Medical Health Officers regularly and will update the return to school date on a weekly basis. Any future decision will depend on existing COVID-19 and Variant of Concern risk in Regina and area.
