This letter was sent home with students this afternoon. We realize many were not in the building.

Please read this letter by clicking here.

Please know Ford students were expected to be at school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. (Thursday was conferences however these were postponed and a regular school day was to happen. Friday was already a non school day for PD and Staff Meetings.)

We have families who have been on vacation or visiting outside of our province. The Saskatchewan government has the following requirements:

All travelers returning from international destinations - including the Untied States - need to self isolate and monitor health for 14 days upon return. Travelers returning from within Canada are advised to self monitor for 14 days upon return.

Please see further information available to you from our school division on the right side of your screen under Division News.

Three-Way Conference Survey

MARCH 2, 2020 -- Regina Public Schools is gathering feedback about parent-teacher-student conference formats. An online survey will be open through March 19, 2020.

CLICK HERE to find the survey. Additional comments or questions may be emailed to info@rbe.sk.ca with the subject line "Conferences."

At this time, conferences have been postponed by our Director of Education. At this point, Thursday, March 19 will be a regular school day.

This letter outlines our conferences and how to book your time. Click here.

Please know that there is NO school for students on Thursday all day (Sorry, the note makes it sound like they come in the morning, however, they attend only their conference). Friday is a PD and Staff Meeting for teachers so there is no school for students that day.

• Smooth transition period - students who arrive at school with time to spare have the opportunity to settle into the classroom, prepare their materials and focus their minds on the lessons to come.
• Important information – a typical school day starts with announcements and introductions to new lessons and concepts.

Children between at least three years as of date of application and four years of age as of December 31, 2020 may apply for Pre-Kindergarten in Regina Public Schools for the 2020-2021 school year.

Our Pre-Kindergarten program is a developmentally appropriate early childhood education program for three- and four-year-old children. Space is limited and children who would benefit most from enhanced programming and meet eligibility criteria, based upon Saskatchewan Ministry of Education guidelines, are prioritized for enrolment.

We are very fortunate to be one of two schools in Regina to be selected to hold the Saskatchewan Odyssey Journey Through Saskatchewan. Please join us for a night of engaging family activities focused on literacy development. Milk and cookies will be served too!

School Community Council met on Tuesday, February 11. Please see all information under the Parents tab at the top of the page. Next meeting is Tuesday, March 10 at 7 PM in our library.

The community of WH Ford celebrated the school’s 40th Anniversary on Wednesday, September 11. Various memorabilia was available for viewing. The evening began with families meeting current teachers and spending time in classrooms. The community then gathered in the gym  for a short ceremony. Special guests were introduced:  past principals, Brad Howard and Donna Mccall as well as Superintendant Lisa Frei. The very first Administrative Assistant who worked at Ford for 31 years, Rita Wright, received a grand round of applause. Trustee Jay Kasperski brought greetings from the Board of Education.
