Thank You for a Delicious Start to the School Year!
Redwater School would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Pembina Pipeline, Redwater Town Council, Breakfast Club of Canada, and all the amazing volunteers who helped cook and serve pancakes at our Welcome Back Breakfast.
Thanks to the generous support of these organizations and community members, our students were able to start their day with full stomachs and big smiles. Programs like these truly make a difference — helping students begin their learning day feeling nourished, supported, and ready to succeed.
We’re also excited to share that, with continued support from Breakfast Club of Canada, Redwater School will be offering a daily grab-and-go breakfast/snack for students each morning. It's one more way we’re working together to support student wellness and learning.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make this possible!

Hello,
Welcome back to a new school year! The start of the school year is a special time fueled by the smell of new school supplies and the anticipation of the year to come. This collective buzz of excitement in our schools reminds us that every school year, day, hour, and minute is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the students.
My name is Jennifer Geleta, and I am excited to introduce myself as the school counsellor at Redwater School. It is my privilege to support the social, emotional, and academic growth of all our students. I look forward to working together with families and staff to create a positive, safe, and inclusive environment for every child.
What I Do:
Help students get through their day with confidence and resilience
Help students develop skills in areas such as stress management, goal setting, and conflict resolution.
Assist with academic planning, college and career exploration, and decision-making.
Connect families with community resources when needed.
How to Reach Me:
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to schedule a meeting, please feel free to contact me at:

Sturgeon Public Schools provides safe, dependable and efficient transportation for students. We operate 70 yellow school buses and transport over 2,750 students to and from school each day.
As colder weather approaches, families are reminded of Policy 320: Inclement Weather, which outlines shared responsibilities among the Board, staff, school bus operators, and parents/guardians to ensure student safety during hazardous weather conditions. The policy emphasizes that while schools remain open, the final decision to send children to school or the bus stop rests with parents/guardians. Bus services may be suspended under specific conditions, such as temperatures reaching -40°C, poor visibility, or hazardous road conditions. Families will be notified of any cancellations or alterations through local media, the Division website, and social media. Parents are also reminded to ensure their children are dressed in weather-appropriate clothing. This policy, shared annually in school newsletters, underscores the Division’s commitment to student safety during the winter months.

Volunteer Guidelines
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
We are grateful for the contributions of our volunteers who play a vital role in our school programs. To ensure a safe and supportive environment, all volunteers must complete the annual SPS Volunteer Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement and adhere to confidentiality standards in line with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP). Additionally, roles involving sole supervision, such as field trips or coaching, require a criminal record check and vulnerable sector verification, renewed every three years.
The annual SPS Volunteer Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement will be available for parents to complete through PowerSchool, where you normally complete permission forms. Volunteering is a privilege managed by the school Principal, who ensures that all volunteer work supports school staff efforts. We value your dedication and commitment to our students, our schools and our communities and look forward to continuing to welcome you into our schools.
For further details, please find the updated Administrative Procedure 315: Volunteers and its new exhibit - SPS Volunteer Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement on our website
