Personal Electronic Device Responsible Use Plan

New for the 2024 - 2025 school year, the Government of Saskatchewan is requiring all school divisions to ban the use of personal electronic devices during instructional time in Kindergarten - Grade 12. This policy is intended to lessen the negative impacts of personal electronic devices in classrooms and support teachers and school staff in promoting a productive classroom environment. Students will be able to access their PEDs during the lunch period of 11:45-12:30. The school division is working on an Administrative Procedure that clearly defines implementation of the personal electronic device ban for students. Upon completion, the procedure will be posted on the school division website.

 

Classroom Planning - Fall 2024

As we begin to plan for the 2024-2025 school year, we are having discussions about classroom placement. One question that comes to the office in the spring and at the beginning of each school year is how we determine which class students will be in. The first thing parents and guardians need to know is this is a carefully considered process. There are a number of factors that go into this decision including the number of students in each grade, trying to get a balance of gender and abilities, and maintaining some social supports for each student. Overall, the most important consideration is what is in the best interest of all of our 482 students.
