Back to School!

Welcome to the 2015-16 school year!  On behalf of the team in the Aboriginal Education Department in the Richmond School District, we are looking forward to working with you and your child this year.  The goal of the Aboriginal Education Department is to provide a level of support designed specifically for your child’s needs in mind in an inclusive setting where Aboriginal content is seamlessly integrated across the curriculum for the benefit of all students.

We are currently distributing permission forms to students with Aboriginal ancestry that will need to be signed in order for our students to participate in Aboriginal district program.  Please return these signed forms to your school's secretary.
