We are so pleased to let you know that our school has a new name: awâsis waciston School. awâsis waciston is a Cree phrase meaning child nest. It is pronounced uh-wahh-sis wuh-chi-ston. Online and digital updates are underway, and the rollout of new signage and other changes at the school will take place over the next few months.
We would like to acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux (So-toe), Blackfoot, Métis, Dene (De-nay) and Nakota Sioux (Sue). We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
Dear Parents/Guardians,

We encourage everyone to stay connected with their child’s education and school staff through SchoolZone. Parents and caregivers can access all information coming from the classroom, school and the Division, such as classroom news, report cards, field trip information, monthly newsletters and transportation (Where’s my Bus?)
If you do not have your SchoolZone login information, or login information for your child, contact the office to request your username and password.
At awâsis waciston, we follow the Code of the Golden Feather. The values of Respect, Integrity, Humility and Honesty guide all our interactions at school and within the community.
