Strategic Priority 1: Belonging

A focus on inclusion and well-becoming to ensure all students and staff are welcomed, accepted, valued, healthy, and safe while at school and in the workplace—and to ensure parents/guardians are welcomed and valued as essential partners.

Advancing this strategic priority is supported by the following strategic actions:

1.1. Expand the LRSD Community Schools Network at the René Deleurme Centre to serve more schools and families.

1.2. Create a comprehensive Workplace Safety and Health Program to promote and support employee wellness to better nurture student wellness.

1.3. Reinforce trauma-responsive practices.

1.4. Introduce Indigenous Language Nests for preschool-aged children in our family centres.

Expand both the Kindergarten to Grade 3 Indigenous Languages Exposure curriculum and Grades 9 to 12 Indigenous Language options to all schools.

1.5. Reframe the Grade 11 English Language Arts curriculum to focus on Indigenous literature and perspectives, while ensuring the Grade 11 History curriculum thoroughly explores Indigenous histories and perspectives.

1.6. Expand International and Heritage Language options in high schools.
