Dear Prince Albert Catholic School Division (PARCSSD) Students, Parents/Guardians, Families and Staff,
In a news conference this afternoon, Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation President Samantha Becotte announced that the next round of job action will be a second one-day province-wide strike held on Monday, January 22.
The Province-wide Strike will occur on Monday, January 22, 2024. There will be no school, extracurricular or cocurricular activities that day. The Teachers have withdrawn all professional and voluntary services for the entire day. All school-led events and other school division events are cancelled (school sports, school clubs, performing arts, meetings). Families are only asked to make arrangements for their children for Monday, January 22, 2024. School will resume on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
We will keep parents and families apprised of events using Edsby, social media, media and posting information on our website. Our school division will strive to focus on students’ safety and minimize disruption to their learning during these unpredictable times. We respect the lawful collective bargaining rights of our Teacher STF members and the work that will be completed with the Provincial Government Trustee Bargaining Committee.
Should any changes occur regarding job action, we will communicate as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school or the Catholic Education Centre at 306-953-7500.
Sincerely.
L. Trumier
Director of Education
