Parking
Reminder: The City of Red Deer 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.
Attendance
If your child is leaving early or is being picked up by someone else, please contact the office to let us know. We do need to hear straight from the parent if this is happening. Thank you for your understanding!
Contact Us!
If you need to reach our office for any reason, please contact our main line at 403-406-7365. This is also the number to call should you need to call in your child's attendance. This number is always available on our website.
A Message from our Athletics Director
We have officially wrapped up our volleyball season!
This weekend, our Senior Girls proudly hosted the 3J Girls Volleyball CWAJHAA Tournament, while St. Francis hosted the 3J Boys event. Although our Senior teams did not come away with hardware, we are incredibly proud of their growth, determination, and the many ways they continue to soar.
Congratulations to Mrs. Vande Brink and Mr. Nichols’ Junior Boys Volleyball team on their City Championship win! They captured gold on home court after a hard-fought match against St. Thomas.
Miss Justason and Miss Stuart’s Junior 1 Girls gave it their all on Tuesday at Cities and battled with heart, though they weren’t able to secure a medal this year.
Mrs. Robinson’s Junior 2 Girls had a strong showing at home and earned a well-deserved silver medal—way to go, team!
As we close out this season, we want to extend our gratitude to our athletes, families, and school community for their support. We’re excited to shift our focus to the upcoming basketball season.
We are still looking for community coaches—if you’re interested in lending a hand, please reach out to crystal.streit@rdcrs.ca
