NOVEMBER 10, 2021 -- Remembrance Day is commemorated on November 11^th each year in Canada and marks the ceasefire on the Western Front in World War I in 1918. The armistice (peace agreement) between the Allies and Germany at Compiègne, France took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Over the summer, Regina Public Schools has been adding the finishing touches to a new, comprehensive online student information portal called Edsby.

Edsby is a comprehensive education application that will include more user-friendly features than were previously found in PowerSchool. Specifically, Edsby will allow students, parents and guardians easy, secure access to attendance records, assignments, schedules, course materials, grades, classes, school news and calendars.

As a part of our Fall 2021 Return to School Plan, the division recommends that schools encourage parents to screen their children daily for COVID symptoms.
