We asked students to imagine a world without Teachers.

The answers? Let’s just say… they had thoughts!

Watch what happened when we put the question to our students.

And while their answers might make you laugh, there’s one thing we hope you take away - Teachers make a BIG difference.

Happy World Teachers’ Day to the incredible Teachers who inspire, encourage, challenge and support our students every day.

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day!

Behind every clean, welcoming school is a custodian who helps make it happen. From keeping our schools clean and safe to tackling the unexpected, our custodians play an important role in creating positive learning environments for students and staff.

Today, we’re celebrating the hard work, care and dedication of our custodial teams across Red Deer Public Schools. Thank you for everything you do to keep our schools running smoothly and making them places where everyone feels welcome!

We appreciate you today and every day!

Yesterday, students and staff across Red Deer Public Schools commemorated National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by wearing orange, taking part in activities and lessons, and making space for learning and reflection.

Today, we continue to reflect on the importance of truth and reconciliation and our shared responsibility to honour the children who never returned home, survivors, their families and communities.

The learning doesn’t end with one day. It is an important part of the work we do throughout the year 🧡

Today, across Red Deer Public Schools, all 11,000 students and 1,200 staff are taking time to learn, reflect and honour the experiences and histories of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.

From orange shirts and classroom lessons to school-wide activities and conversations, our schools are coming together to commemorate National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today is an important opportunity to listen, learn and reflect, and to continue the work of reconciliation throughout the year.

Celebrating diversity, inclusion and the many things that make our students and school communities unique!

Lindsay Thurber’s DYEversity event last week brought students and staff together to celebrate identity, culture, community and connection.

Events like this create opportunities for students to learn from one another, share their experiences and build a school community where everyone feels welcome and valued.
