Hello Home Based Education families:
What beautiful Fall weather we are having, great for harvesting and enjoying the outdoors.
If you are receiving this email your child or children are registered with Prairie Spirit School Divison home based education. We have many new families registered this year so I will go over some of the basics again.
I will send HBE updates and events through this group email, please don’t reply to this email, if you do it may get filtered out and I may miss it.
If you have a question just send me a new email to: lorraine.fitzgerald@spiritsd.ca
We are on Facebook: The other place to get and share information from PSSD home based families is the Facebook group, this is a parent run & monitored group: Prairie Spirit HBE information
1) Registrations : have been completed for September, if we required anything further you would have heard back from us by phone or email a while ago. I am sorry that you may not have received an email to confirm we received your forms but it seems that many email replies may have gone to SPAM or junk mail. We will look into that issue.
I appreciate the families that are able to send their yearly registration forms in on time or early and understand that many families may have extenuating circumstances however I do need to stress that there is a Sept 15th register deadline, it is important that people respect this date and get all their forms in by then or communicate with me why they may be delayed.
If you choose to return to an in-person school or go to the Sask DLC online school just let me and the school know and we can make the transfer, this can occur during the school year.
2) In October you will receive a “confirmation of enrollment” letter maybe by postal mail but likely by email this year.
3) The funding grants will be dispersed at the beginning of March 2026, We do not require receipts to show proof of purchase for your students’ curriculum requirements. Registration that occur after Feb 27th, 2026 will not qualify for funding.
4) Driver Education: If your student is 15 years old, they are eligible to take the driver’s training course at the local highschool. Please contact the local highschool to get your name on the list and do it early. Let me know you have registered and I will send you the student’s PSSD login infortion to get onto the PSSD website. All students, no matter the grade, have a user name and password and can access the PSSD website.
