Dear Parents and Guardians!

Regina Public Schools will no longer be collecting a lump sum at the beginning of the school year for field trips. Notices requesting funds to cover transportation and/or admission fees will be sent home prior to each planned field trip. We are collecting $4.50 to cover the cost of each school agenda (for students in Grades 1 to 5) and $2.50 for Kindergarten students. Please send exact CASH for this payment (no cheques)... thank you!
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Brad Howard
Principal of Jack MacKenzie Elementary School

Please following the NO PARKING SIGNS around the school and parking lot for the safety of the children and out of respect for our neighbourhood residents. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

We are accepting registrations for Kindergarten students for the 2010 - 2011 school year. We offer a terrific program in a great school. If your child will be five by December 31, 2010, he/she is eligible to attend Kindergarten in the fall of 2010.

Please call the office at 523-3000 to get information on how to register your child for the fall (September 2010) term.

For our current Jack MacKenzie parents, if you know of a family in the neighbourhood with a child of kindergarten age and no siblings attending Jack MacKenzie School, we would appreciate it if you would pass this information on to that family.

Just a reminder that our transportation boundaries changed last year and students north of Arens Road will not be transported to Jack MacKenzie School unless an older sibling has been grandfathered prior to this year. All students are welcome to attend Jack MacKenzie School but if they live outside our transportation boundaries the family must provide transportation.

School Yearbook Coming Soon!

The School yearbook 2009-2010 should be delivered to the school during the week of September 20th.  We will keep you posted on its arrival!
