As a result of the ongoing construction at Paul Kane High School, student parking will be extremely limited for the 2023-2024 school year. You will be required to consider alternate modes of transportation to and from school for this school year as we cannot guarantee parking will be made available.
If you require bussing, please contact the transportation department at 780.460.3712, or alternatively ride STAT, bike, or walk to school.
Student Services staff are returning on Thursday, August 24th to begin the timetable adjustment process. If you see a “hole” in your timetable, it is because we were unable to schedule all of your course requests. It is strongly recommended that all Grade 10 and 11 students have full timetables in order to meet graduation requirements. Based on your final marks, you may need to alter the courses you are registered for. We would be happy to help you choose an alternate course. Please note, we will not be adjusting timetables based on student requests for specific teachers or friends.
Appointments are available on August 24th, August 25th, and August 28th from 9:00 - 12:00 & 1:00 - 2:30.
Please book your appointment at https://pk.schoolappointments.com. Appointment bookings will open Monday, August 21, at 8:00 am and will fill up quickly!
If you wish to simply drop a course with no other adjustments required, please email your grade level counsellor directly. Please note, grade 10 & 11 students are required to fill their timetables.

High school is a big change for many students. Most courses are semestered, therefore you finish the course in five months. This means that there is more home study and more attention needed. If you begin to experience difficulty, you should see your teacher as soon as there is any hint of a problem. There are many solutions. Your teacher will suggest a course of action. It may be simply more study, getting after school help, or spending ten minutes going over expectations and concepts. The most important thing though, is to tell someone you are experiencing difficulty. We can help! Your teachers, counselors and administrators are here first and foremost to make sure you have success. You just have to let us know!

We understand that sometimes families have wonderful opportunities for trips that take place at the same time as school. Nevertheless these trips, especially if they exceed two or three days, cause tremendous difficulty. Because high school courses are semestered, missing five days in high school is like missing two weeks in grade 9. You can miss a complete section of the course. In most subjects the material builds up from day to day. Missing such time can be devastating. Many students who have taken extended holidays found their marks dropped by as much as 20%. If this absence cannot be helped you should plan well in advance and contact the subject teacher. Don’t leave it till the last minute.
