Reflecting on the 2023-24 school year, I’m filled with gratitude for the efforts and achievement highlighted in this Annual Report to the Community.  

Our community’s resilience and dedication shone brightly through various initiatives and recognitions. These pages celebrate some of our students’ and staff's achievements and outstanding contributions in 2023-24.  

Throughout the 44 pages, you’ll find features about our commitment to equity and inclusion, like our efforts in Advancing Employment Equity, Letting the Pride Flag Fly, and the inspiring voices in Student Voices for Change. You’ll also learn about our innovative approaches to learning and wellness in Project-Based Learning is for School Leaders Too, Foundations in Literacy, and Connecting for Wellness. 

Additionally, the ARC provides a glimpse into the incredible work happening within our community, such as the Zone Settlement Program, our culinary partnerships in A Recipe for Community, and the cultural connections made in Friendship Without Borders. 

As we look ahead, we remain committed to building on these accomplishments. My sincere appreciation goes out to our families, students, staff, educators, leadership team, and board of trustees. Your dedication to our shared values and commitments makes our vibrant learning community possible. 

I hope reading the ARC for 2023-24 inspires you, as we continue to nurture a workplace and learning community where everyone can thrive in 2024-25.

The Annual Report to the Community (ARC) 2022-2023 is now available!  

I am thrilled to share our Annual Report to the Community for the 2022-2023 school year, marking the culmination of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) for 2019-2023. As we reflect on the last 12 months, we celebrate many of our accomplishments and acknowledge some of the challenges we’ve faced that have further strengthened our commitment to human flourishing being at the centre of the journey in Louis Riel School Division (LRSD).  

With features about collaborative endeavours, student empowerment, and linguistic programming, the nurturing of community at the heart of our MYSP is highlighted across the pages you will read.  

The report celebrates only some of our students’ and staffs’ individual and collective accomplishments, highlights investments in infrastructure in 2022-2023, and touches on the budget for 2023-2024 that the board adopted in March 2023. 

As we start the 2023-2024 school year, and launch a renewed MYSP for 2023-2027, we remain steadfast in our commitment to an educational journey focused on human flourishing by creating an ever more nurturing, equitable, and inclusive learning and work environment in LRSD. I look forward to supporting, contributing to, and celebrating the stories that will illustrate what we accomplish in the coming year.

The Annual Report to the Community (ARC) 2020-2021 is now available!  

Throughout the 2020-2021 school year, the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) community was faced with uncertainty and disruption. From physical distancing to mask wearing to pivoting to learning from home, staff, students, and families worked together to quickly adjust to a new “normal.” This was only made possible through an incredible amount of kindness, resilience, and innovation.

The Annual Report to the Community (ARC) 2019-2020 is now available!

While the word unprecedented will be etched into many of our memories as the word used to describe the pandemic and the impact it has had on lives worldwide, three others have been frequently used in the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD). 

Resilience. Perseverance. Generosity. 

Since the official suspension of in-class learning in March, there were many challenges for staff, students and families as we collectively and quickly pivoted to remote learning and a new and ever-evolving reality. 

The 2019-2020 school year truly was unlike any other in our history. 

What was and still continues to be a significant source of pride for me is how in the face of such monumental change, those three words came up time and time again as we described what we were seeing in our community. 

Much of what is captured in the 60 pages of our new Annual Report to the Community (ARC) is defined by those three words. 

The stories in the 2019-2020 ARC showcase the kindness and incredible collective effort of students, staff and families who are instrumental in helping us continue to thrive under extraordinarily challenging circumstances. 
 
With features about unique convocation celebrations and a collaborative move to an online world to finding ways to stay connected and helping staff stay safe, the resilience of the LRSD community is highlighted in every page of the ARC.  
 
The report also includes stories that celebrate our amazing students, the growth happening in LRSD and a look at how we plan on using our 2020-2021 budget.  
 
You’ll find the themes of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan echoed throughout the ARC as we celebrate the second year of progress in our goal to provide a safe, inclusive and engaging environment, where personal and collective learning are valued, and each one of us reaches our full potential.

Stay safe and be well,

The Annual Report to the Community (ARC) 2018-2019 is now available!  

Today, the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) officially released their 2018-2019 Annual Report to the Community (ARC).

"Bold and audacious are two words which describe many conversations among the Louis Riel School Board and the LRSD Senior Leadership Team throughout the 2018-2019 school year," said Sandy Nemeth, Louis Riel School Board Chair. "It was also a wonderful period of achievement and success for students, staff and our greater community, as you will see in our ARC."

As Indigenous cultures and teachings continue to guide many conversations and decisions in LRSD, the division looked to the Indigenous Circle of Courage and how its principles of Belonging, Mastery, Independence and Generosity create a whole learner approach to education. These four fundamental principles were incorporated into the annual report to illuminate LRSD's commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment, where personal and collective learning are valued, and each person reaches their full potential. 

"I am proud to share our ARC that features many inspiring stories that highlight just a fraction of the achievements and successes of the more than 15,500 students in the care of 2,148 staff across 40 schools in LRSD," said Christian Michalik, LRSD Superintendent. "Readers looking for a bunch of numbers and charts in the report may be disappointed. While it does contain some, our ARC is meant to tell the stories that breathe life into the numbers and the charts, and I believe we've done just that with this report."
