🔥📵 Introducing… Tech-Free Tuesdays at Four Winds! 📵🔥
Every Tuesday, our Firebirds will be powering down the screens at recess — no devices, no computers… just connection, movement, laughter, and fun!
Instead of tech time, students can:
🃏 Play cards or board games
🏀 Join in on gym activities
🔥 Hang out at the firepit area
🌲 Enjoy fresh air and outdoor fun
Why are we doing this?
Because healthy habits, real-life friendships, and mental wellness matter. Tech-Free Tuesdays help reduce stress and social pressure — and boost community, play, and joy.
And honestly… we cannot WAIT to see the memories, teamwork, and fun that come from this! 🎉
Let’s unplug to recharge, Firebirds.
Tuesdays just got awesome. ❤️🔥

"Sturgeon Public Schools is proud to be the first school division in Alberta to partner with Unplugged Canada, a parent-led movement encouraging families to delay giving children personal smartphones until at least age 14. Research shows that waiting can positively impact children’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. While technology is an important part of learning in our classrooms, personal smartphone and social media, use present different challenges. By sharing the Unplugged Canada Pledge, we hope to support open conversations at home and connect families with the resources they need to make the best choices for their children.

TCIS
TCIS
At Four Winds Public School, we are committed to fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all students. One of the key tools we use to achieve this is the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) system. TCIS is a trauma-informed, division-wide framework designed to help staff prevent crises, de-escalate potential conflicts, and support students in developing healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. This system not only enhances safety and well-being but also promotes stronger relationships between students, staff, and families.
