Our Division

Attendance areas stretch as far west as Tomahawk and Entwistle, and include rural areas south of Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, with the North Saskatchewan River providing a natural southern boundary all the way to Devon.

PSD is respected within the provincial education community, and continues to strengthen that distinct reputation by focusing on the needs of local families. The Division is attuned to shifts in local demographics, including family types, cultures, beliefs, special needs, socioeconomic situations and settings, as we serve both rural and urban communities. Efforts are made to ensure that every student, regardless of location or ability, has access to the educational services they need.

The Division is able to broaden the variety of unique learning opportunities we offer at our schools and other local facilities, by building relationships with community partners. One example is our Nature-Based Kindergarten program, which allows students to step into the world outside their classroom to better connect with our local environment.

PSD believes that our students’ well-being plays a key role in their overall success. As such, we have designed our Wellness Initiative to help students develop social and emotional skills that build resilience. This strong foundation of self allows our students to reach beyond themselves and accept opportunities to engage in social responsibility and citizenship, helping them understand how a strong community is equally important as individual expression and pride in one’s self.

Our division is home to over 12,500 students across 23 schools and a number of alternative learning locations.

The Division operates one of the largest regional student transportation systems in the province, providing exceptional safety to each of its more than 7,400 student riders.

Parkland School Division is a place where all are welcome, supported and encouraged, so that everyone can be a part of our children’s learning.
