Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we mark World Teachers’ Day on October 5, 2023, we are reminded of the tremendous impact that educators in our district have on our students, our community and the world. This day is a global tribute to their commitment to excellence in education.

Background:

Around the district is a monthly update that includes a collection of stories from Richmond schools. These stories highlight Richmond's vibrant learning community which fosters student engagement, creativity, and well-being in inclusive learning environments.

The district is formally observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, alongside Orange Shirt Day, on September 29. We encourage everyone to join in this meaningful occasion by wearing orange.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Richmond Board of Education along with our partner groups once again wish to reiterate our full support for the Minister of Education and Child Care's September 2022, K-12 education partners' joint statement in support of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI).

Please note, on Friday, September 22 the Richmond School Board office will be closed.

The office will re-open to the public on Monday, September 25th.

With school starting up, it is important to remind both drivers and pedestrians to keep traffic safety in mind and remain alert during their commutes.

Here are some tips for drivers, pedestrians and parents from ICBC to make travelling to and from school safe for everyone.
