Environment Canada is reporting a temperature (including wind chill) of -47°C this morning.

As per school division policy, student attendance today is at parental discretion. Parents and guardians are asked to use their judgment when deciding whether it is safe for their child(ren) to attend school given the extreme cold conditions.

Absences related to the extreme cold will be excused; however, parents are asked to please notify the school if their child will be absent.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Trevor Lane

Thank You to The Pas Association for Human Development

We are incredibly grateful to The Pas Association for Human Development for their generous $100,000 donation in support of the École Opasquia School Playground Project.

 

This remarkable contribution will have a lasting impact on our students by helping create a safe, modern, and inclusive outdoor play space where children can learn, grow, and thrive together. Playgrounds are essential to student well‑being, supporting physical activity, social development, and positive mental health—and this donation brings us one major step closer to realizing that vision.

 

On behalf of Kelsey School Division and École Opasquia School staff, students, and families, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Pas Association for Human Development for their commitment to education, community partnership, and youth development. Your support demonstrates the power of collaboration in building brighter futures for our children.

 

Thank you for investing in our students and our community.
