Sage Creek School Information


 

Serving the Students of the Sage Creek Community

As the Sage Creek Development rapidly expands on the east side of Lagimodière Boulevard (also known as Highway 59), residents inquire about the schools designated for this striking new neighbourhood. When the Louis Riel School Division received confirmation that the Public Schools Finance Board does not forecast adding any new schools in the southeast part of the Division, it designated the following schools to welcome students residing in Sage Creek:

  • English Elementary Program - Frontenac School
  • French Immersion Elementary Program - Ecole Howden
  • English High School Program - Windsor Park Collegiate
  • French Immersion High School Program - Collège Béliveau

The Public Schools Finance Board is a branch of the Provincial Government that reviews communities’ needs for schools across the province. It currently focuses on the use of existing schools whose community life cycles result in increased space.

While the Louis Riel School Division fully appreciates that parents, whenever possible, hope to have their children and young people attend schools within their neighbourhoods, we are pleased that the above-identified schools offer supportive learning environments under the guidance of staff teams who are sincerely committed to building community for all learners.

The Louis Riel School Board has identified a new school in Sage Creek as its number one priority for facilities development. In June 2009, this has been reaffirmed as the Division forwarded its Five-Year Capital Plan to the provincial Public Schools Finance Board for consideration. However, the approval, planning, and construction of any new school in Manitoba has traditionally been a multi-year process. At this time, the provincial government has not approved a new school for the Sage Creek development. The local school board appreciates its community support to continue requesting a new school for this important new area of the Louis Riel School Division.

For more information about your children’s designated schools, and the registration process, please call the divisional Director of School & Community Support at the Division Board Office, 257-7827, or make an appointment with the administration team of the school that will welcome your children.
