School Demographics - M.J. Coldwell School has served the north part of Regina since 1967. We are an associate school of Thom Collegiate.

The community is attractive with affordable well maintained housing in the immediate area of the school. The community is made up primarily of professionals and skilled labourers. Currently, there are approximately 145 students enrolled at M.J. Coldwell School. Although our families are primarily Causcasian, we are consistently growing in  our multicultural nature. We have a growing enrolment of Aboriginal students and English as an Additional Language (EAL) students.

School Programs and Services - M.J. Coldwell School promotes high academic achievement and the pursuit of life-long learning within a safe and caring environment. We continue to perform well in yearly achievement testing pursued by Regina Public Schools. That being said we continue to work at improving through yearly goals established by the staff and in consultation with our School Community Council. In addition to offering the regular SaskLearning Curriculum we have four additional programs operating at our school: the half-time PreKindergarten Program, a half-time Kindergarten Program and the Structured Learning Classroom (SLC) which currently has 5 students enrolled. We offer the array of supports and programs available in all Regina Public Schools - Learning Resource, Speech and Language, Early Observation and Planning, EAL instruction, School Counselor services and Psychologist support.

M.J. Coldwell School offers curricular and extracurricular activities. The athletic program offers interschool teams in volleyball, basketball, track and field and co-ed softball. Continuous efforts are also made to stay technologically current.

School Governance Structure - M.J. Coldwell School has a principal. There is a student advisory council and ACT team. The School Community Council was elected in May 2008. A constitution has been developed using the new standards as set forth by SaskLearning. We require a new election prior to the end of October 2009. Our focus this year will be to work together with the SCC on the learning agenda and our Learning Improvement Plan. If you would like the opportunity to be involved in your child's education, this is a great way to do it! Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15th from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Babysitting is provided.
