Congratulations to Kathlyn Swampy-Star from @kec_RETSD and Bria Cardinal from @mmc_RETSD on being chosen to receive Manitoba Indigenous Youth Achievement Awards! They'll be presented with their awards on Nov. 20 at a ceremony held at the Victoria Inn.
With gratitude, we announce the retirement of Asst. Supt. Mark Bruce. For 37 yrs., Mark has dedicated himself to education, serving RETSD for 22.5 yrs. Mark always remained steadfast in his commitment to the creation of spaces for students to feel safe, included & successful.
The province has proclaimed Sept. 30–Oct. 4, 2024, School Support Staff Recognition Week. There are a lot of people who make the education of our students possible—in our schools, administration, maintenance, transportation, and the community. Thank you for all that you do!
As we continue to transition to our new student information system, please consider downloading the RETSD app from the Apple Store or Google Play. This will ensure you have the most up to date information regarding the division and your child's school.

January 4 is National Ribbon Skirt Day, which celebrates the skirts traditionally worn by Indigenous women. It was inspired by Isabella Kulak, an Indigenous girl who wore a ribbon skirt to her school's Formal Dress Day but was told it did not meet the standard of formal dress.
This Sunday, Nov. 12, is Diwali, an important festival in Hinduism, celebrated in India and by the Indian diaspora worldwide. Known as the festival of lights, it’s about the victory of light over dark, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. 🕯️ #HappyDiwali2023
