This beautiful quilt panel was sewn by our Grade 1/2 Classroom teacher Mrs. Heather Hladun. We will be hanging this in foyer of our school. As we gathered for our Day of Truth and Reconciliation Assembly, Mrs. Hladun’s class walked through the halls carrying it for all to see. It is a true symbol of reconciliation as we move into the future with the Educational Calls to Action recommended from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The Quilt panel is called The Journey Home created by Karen Erickson

“In light of the recent traumatic events that have unfolded at former Residential Schools across Canada, Karen Erickson created “Every Child Matter” out of reverence to those grieving. This painting depicts two siblings who were finally set free after being grimly discovered at a Residential School. The children who are shown holding hands were torn apart from each other, but now reunited as they make their way back home. Karen included beautiful imagery such as a moon and feathers to represent the First Nations, Inuit and Metis people joining together to guide the two siblings.” 100% of the net proceeds from the sales of this quilt panel will be donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society and the Orange Shirt Society.

October 10-15, 2022, has been proclaimed School Sport Week in Saskatchewan. Sports help promote strong leadership skills, teamwork and a healthy lifestyle. Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division thanks all those who support and participate in extra-curricular activities in and around our division.

Welcome students and staff to the 2022-2023 school year!

September 1, 2022, is an exciting day for many students who return to school to experience everything Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division has to offer.  Students will meet their teacher, maybe for the first time, and they will see old friends and meet new ones.  Some students will also feel nervous or unsettled, but we will welcome and support them in the school year ahead.

The Government of Saskatchewan has also officially proclaimed September 1, 2022, as “Provincial Students’ Day.”  This day has always been focused on helping to ensure safety for students, families and communities. Let’s all remember the importance of school zone safety!   SRPSD continues to make health and safety a priority for all our staff and students.  We encourage all students, staff and families to continue to protect their health by washing hands (or using sanitizer) regularly, staying home when not feeling well  and masking as appropriate.  Schools and school division facilities will not require mask wearing, but will be mask-friendly places that support those who choose to wear masks.

We are focused on rebuilding, renewing and rejuvenating!  This is going to be another great year in our Division, and we are so proud of our students, families and staff who make SRPSD wonderful. Have great year!

After 1 year notes will be moved to Archived Workshop Notes.

On Friday, May 8, 2020, rain or shine (or apparently snow) we wanted to have a “We Miss You” parade through our attendance area to see our students and families, even if it had to be from a distance.  We were touched by the enthusiasm and creativity of the students and families who braved the weather to show us their smiling faces and to cheer us on.

We continue to hold you all in our hearts and minds until we can meet again in person. Our wish is that all our students and their families stay safe and hopeful during this challenging time.

A huge thank you to Constable Dumont for leading our parade, and to our School Social Worker Laura McDonald & School Mentor Matt Pelerine for figuring out our parade route.

Until we see each other again…take good care of yourself and your loved ones!

To supplement the efforts of our early childhood educators, Play. Learn. Grow. Together! was developed as a public education program which provides parents and guardians of newborns to Kindergarten-aged children with easy to use tips and information.  The webpage and family-friendly videos can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/education-and-learning/prek-12-education-early-learning-and-schools/early-years-learning. This is a useful online learning resource to help families with at-home learning opportunities for their children during the pandemic

“In these unprecedented times, we all can recognize how important child care support is for many families who want to pursue career and education opportunities or work to provide for their families,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said.  “On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, I want to thank Early Childhood Educators for continuing to make a tremendous difference in the lives of families and ensuring children are safe and well cared for.”

Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division celebrates the important work that Early Childhood Educators do for our children and our community.  Let’s celebrate May 13^th with a salute to an Early Years Educator.
