Voting in October and November

October 22, 2020 -- Provincial and civic elections are around the corner. The provincial election will be held on October 26, 2020. Twenty-six Regina Public schools will be used as polling stations. This day is a school division-wide professional development day and there will be no students in schools. School staff will be at work on those days.

School Bus Zones

This morning we had over 20 cars attempting to drop off students in our school bus loading zones in front of our school. These zones are for school busses only. Please drop your children off on the opposite side of Queen street or farther down. This is critical for the safety of our students and the efficiency of our bus service as we have 4 different busses that need to be able to access the bus zones. It is also illegal to make a u-turn in a school zone, please do not make u-turns on Queen street. Violators could be ticketed. Thank you for your co-operation!

Masks Required on Public Transit

OCTOBER 15, 2020 -- As COVID-19 cases increase in our city, Regina Transit is reminding all passengers to continue to wear masks on public transit. Starting on October 19, 2020, Regina Transit will be denying service to elementary and high school students who do not wear a mask or alternative face coverings while boarding and riding the bus.

Terry Fox Neon Day

On September 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles) Terry stopped running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario as his cancer had spread to his lungs. Each year, Canadians participate in a run to raise funds for Cancer research and to keep Terry's Marathon of Hope alive. Although we cannot collect donations or do a whole school Terry Fox run, we are asking students to dress in 1980's neon on Friday, October 2. Teachers may choose to take their own individual class out for a walk or run in Terry's memory that day.

Orange Shirt Day

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day. Students and staff are encouraged to wear orange shirts to honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada and to learn more about the history of those schools.
