The Rainy River District School Board is committed to working in partnership with parents and to having the best learning environments for students, where they have safe, effective and respectful learning experiences.
“We are dedicated to ensuring that our schools provide the highest quality education for our students,” said Director of Education Heather Campbell. “We are proud of the expertise and enthusiasm that staff provide in our schools and expect another year of excellence in educational experiences with many accomplishments to celebrate and exciting new initiatives to look forward to.”
The Rainy River District School Board serves approximately 3,000 students each day at 12 elementary and 3 secondary schools. Supporting student achievement is the goal of close to 700 permanent and casual teaching and support staff who, in addition to the contributions of caring volunteers and community partners, provide the best opportunity for students to learn.
