The Saskatchewan Teacher Federation announced on February 26, that teachers are giving a notice of a one-day withdrawal of noon-hour supervision set to take place on Thursday, February 29. 

“Withdrawal of noon-hour supervision means STF members will not be available to supervise students who are eating lunch at school or taking part in noon-hour activities. Although teachers, including principals and vice-principals, often provide lunch break supervision, it is done on a voluntary basis. Student supervision is the responsibility of the school division and supervisors are not required to be teachers,” stated the STF in a release. 

Withdrawal of noon-hour supervision will take place at the following locations:

  • Chinook Teachers’ Association – All schools in Chinook School Division
  • Creighton Teachers’ Association – All schools in Creighton School Division
  • Lloydminster Teachers’ Association – All schools in Lloydminster Public School Division and Lloydminster Catholic School Division 
  • North East Teachers’ Association – All schools in North East School Division
  • Prairie Spirit Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Spirit School Division
