Update | Prairie Sky School Opening Information
Over the past month, we have worked closely with Alberta Infrastructure to complete the school’s construction and set-up as quickly as possible. We are still optimistic that Prairie Sky School should be ready to welcome students on Monday, April 3, 2023.
We will provide confirmation next week once the final inspections have been completed. Principal Mona Harswinder Bains will email the opening date confirmation and a transition plan with school-specific details.

Feb. 22, 2023Update | Prairie Sky School Construction Progress and Estimated Opening We are excited to share that construction on Prairie Sky School is progressing well, and we have identified a tentative opening date of Monday, April 3, after spring break.
We are cautiously optimistic about being able to welcome students on April 3 as there is still much that needs to be completed before this date. Parts of the school need to be completed, and the building must pass several inspections before the building is turned over for CBE use. We are working closely with Alberta Infrastructure to complete the work. We expect to confirm the opening date, transportation information, bell times and other details next month.
