Violence Threat Risk Assessment (VTRA) Fair Notice Letter

Regina Public Schools believes that the safety of students, staff and everyone who enters our schools and offices is of great importance. Our Shared Values of "I Respect" and "I Belong" speak to the belief that great learning starts with schools that are safe and comfortable environments in which to learn, work, grow and play. We also work closely with families and community partners to provide supports our students might need to ensure that they are healthy and successful at school.

Notification of a Student Absence

It is important for parents/guardians to notify the school of a student absence. In the past, parents have called or emailed the school office. With the addition of EDSBY, there are now THREE methods available to notify the school that your child is absent or will be in the future.

      1. Call the main office at (306) 523-3400

      2.  Email the main office at winstonknollcollegiate@rbe.sk.ca

      3. Enter the absence on EDSBY

PLEASE ONLY USE ONE METHOD TO NOTIFY THE SCHOOL TO AVOID CONFUSION AND DOUBLE-ENTRY BY SCHOOL OFFICE STAFF.

Kids Help Phone

December 12, 2022 -- Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support to young people in English and French.

Mental health tips and info - With Kids Help Phone’s web resources, young people can get information about how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and what they can do to care for their well-being.

Crisis support - If young people need help right now, they can text or Facebook message a trained, volunteer crisis responder at Kids Help Phone about anything they are going through. No issue is too big or too small.

Volunteering and the CRC

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 -- We welcome and encourage family and friends to volunteer in our school communities. Volunteer participation is an important complement to the work done by employees.

At the same time, Regina Public Schools is responsible to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff. For this reason, all volunteers who provide services to students on a recurring, scheduled basis, or who are present in a school on a recurring, scheduled basis prior to 6:00 p.m. on school days, require an original Criminal Record Check (CRC), including a vulnerable sector check.

The CRC must be provided by the Regina Police Service or, if the volunteer does not reside in Regina, from their local police agency, such as the RCMP.

Mental Health Resources

APRIL 4, 2022 -- Anxiety, worry and stress are something we all feel, and sometimes we may need help. Mental health supports are available to help you if and when you need it. Listed below are some helpful resources.

HealthLine 811 - offers mental health and addictions service, including 24/7 crisis support, advice to help manage a caller’s situation, information and connection to community resources.

School Community Councils

Every Regina Public School and High School has a School Community Council (SCC).These SCCs were mandated by the Provincial Government to replace parent teacher associations; school councils;  and home and school associations.

To find out more about the school's School Community Council or to get involved please contact the school.
