Staff and students are asked to dress in colours corresponding with their grade, to create teams and add to the fun.
Grade 6 - Yellow
Grade 7 - Orange
Grade 8 - Teal
Grade 9 - Black & White

Parking - NEW SIGNAGE!
Please note: The City of Red Deer has placed new signs in front of our school. The section out front of our main doors has now been split into three sections. As you pull up, the first section is a City Bus lane with no public parking. The second section is RDCRS specialized bus lane with no public parking between the hours of 8-9am and 2:30-3:30pm. The third section is student drop and go with where drivers must remain in their vehicles. The North Parking Lot, located closest to the Foundations and Blended Program entrance, is designated for guest and parent parking. Some staff will also be required to park in this lot. The South East lot, near the Grade 9 doors, is reserved for staff parking and the bus roundabout—parents are asked not to park in this area. Finally, we ask all families to be mindful of our neighbors by avoiding parking in front of houses or in nearby alleys, as this creates safety concerns.This is especially important on game nights when we have an abundance of visitors parking near the school.
Bus Status - IMPORTANT
It is important for families to have access to the bus status notifications so they are aware of any changes to the bus drop off and pick up times. There are two ways to view the status of your child's bus status. You can either go to our website and look at the bus status on the right hand side or you can download the Bus Status 4 App in your app store. The app is available for both apple or android users.
Download the New Bus Status App!
Bus Status 4 for iOS and Android notifies you when your school bus is cancelled or delayed.
Please download the Bus Status app at your earliest convenience to continue or to receive school bus notifications from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools. To install this app, please follow the directions below:
Step 1: Download the Bus Status app by Box Clever.
Step 2: Open the app and select Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools from the list (you only need to select your district the first time you open the app. Bus Status will remember your selection).
Step 3: Go to All Buses. Tap the star to add a bus to My Buses.
Step 4: You’ll receive a notification when one of your buses is delayed, cancelled, or early.
Step 5: Tap the bell icon to see general notifications from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools.

A Message from our Athletics Director
We are wrapping up our Volleyball and Softball units in PE this week. Great work Golden Eagles!
Next week, we will be starting our Soccer and Omnikin units!
Girls will start in the gym with Mr. Henley and will need to remember to bring their clean indoor shoes. The boys will be outside with Miss Streit developing their soccer skills. Boys will need to remember that they still need to wear appropriate footwear for this unit and that our morning classes are a bit chilly, so dress for the crisp morning weather.
Next Week:
Please see the SLR Sports Calendar for all things Athletics!
