School Opening and Closing Hours

Beginning on Thursday, March 12, 2020, all Regina Public schools will have changed opening and closing hours.

School buildings will not be open until 15 minutes before the start of the school day and adult supervision will begin 15 minutes before the start of the school day.

Similarly, school buildings will be closed and have no adult supervision on playgrounds or hallways 15 minutes after the end of the school day.

Adult supervision will be provided, as usual during regular school hours and lunch time.

Advantages to Being on Time to School

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. Students who show up late may miss out on important details and be unprepared for future class events or key learning concepts.

Develops long-term positive habits - when students show up on time to school everyday, they develop the habit of being punctual with important commitments.

Self-esteem - arriving on time every day makes students feel good about themselves
