IIImmmpppooorrrtttaaannnttt IIInnnfffooorrrmmmaaattt iiiooonnn aaabbbooouuuttt BBBuuusss iiinnnggg::: Registering your child for busing is necessary, but not every year. Please only re-register if the student’s information has changed. This may include a change of school, address or contact information. Registering online is quick and easy. However, it may take several days to arrange their busing. The direct link to register is https://www3.srsd119.ca/busgarage/transport/request.php or you can simply type “Sask rivers school bus” in a search engine (we recommend Google) and we will surely pop up. Once you click on our link, look for this box towards the bottom of the page, and choose “Transportation Requests”. You may find our links for the daily bus report and city bus maps handy as well.

If you are unsure whether or not you have previously registered, or if you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 306-763-2323.

Lunch Hour

Please provide necessary utensils in your children’s’ lunches. We do not distribute utensils. Also, the school has no microwaves to heat up lunches.

Customize your own JD merchandise at https://jdps.entripyshops.com/. Adult and youth sizes available.

Allergen Aware: Reduce the Risk

There are children in our school with severe life threatening food allergies

(anaphylaxis) to nuts and peanuts. This medical condition can result in

death within minutes. Although this may or may not affect your child’s

class directly, we ask that any foods you send to school with your child be

free from nut or peanut products. More information about anaphylaxis is

available at the school. Please contact us. Thank you for your

understanding and cooperation.
