Welcome to École Wîhkwêntôwin School

We are so pleased to let you know that in April 2024, our school received a new name: Wîhkwêntôwin School.

Wîhkwêntôwin is a Cree word that can be translated into English as ‘circle of friends’. Wîhkwêntôwin is pronounced we-kwen-to-win.

We are excited to share the same name as the community we call home!

For the 2025-2026 school year, Wîhkwêntôwin School is full in planned classes in Grades 5 and 6 in the French immersion program and Kindergarten and Grade 5 in the regular program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for Grades 5 and 6 in the French Immersion program. For the regular program, we will now only accept resident students in Kindergarten and Grade 5 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area.

Non-resident students can enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.
