Ecole River Heights School

June is Pride Month at Saskatoon Public Schools. Tomorrow on Wednesday June 17th we invite and encourage all staff and students to wear their SPS Pride T-shirts or other symbols of Pride. This day provides an opportunity for us to come together in celebration of diversity and inclusion.

See you Wednesday for fun in the park and SUM theater.

Tomorrow is our year-end family and class picnic! Subway is coming for those who ordered through Healthy Hunger, and as always you are welcome to bring your own lunch as well! The weather looks like it will cooperate with us, so we plan to have lunch outside on the playground and park starting at 11:55 a.m. with some visiting and playtime as well. Students will come back in for afternoon classes at 12:40 p.m.

Please remember to bring some lawn chairs and/or a blanket to sit on, as well as some bug spray and maybe sunscreen. We are looking forward to having all of our families come join us! See you then 😊

Our year end band concert is happening today at 1:00 pm. We were hoping to have it outside today but do not want to take any chances with the weather. We will have it in our large gym this afternoon. Look forward to seeing you then! ☺️

Save the Date of Friday, June 12th! That is when we have our year-end Family and Class picnic planned over the lunch hour.

There is a Subway ordering option set up in Healthy Hunger if you like, or you can pack and bring your own picnic lunch that day! Please bring a blanket or lawnchairs and join us at the back of the school. We look forward to seeing you all then!

We are currently accepting registrations for kindergarten for the fall! If you or someone you know has a child who is turning five (5) years old by December 31st, then they are eligible to start Kindergarten in Septemberl! We offer either French Immersion or English kindergarten on a full-day, alternate day schedule. Transportation may be available to French Immersion students that come to École River Heights from outside of the area.

Students who have pre-registered have already received their invitation to our Teddy Bear Picnic happening tomorrow afternoon! This is our kindergarten sneak peek of what a day in kindergarten can look like! You must be pre-registered to start kindergarten in September to join us for this fun activity filled afternoon.
