All students are provided with the supports and opportunities they need to become participating students and members of their school communities. Collaboration among home, school and
community is imperative. Core values and beliefs include:
- All students can learn, in different ways and at different rates.
- All students have individual abilities and needs.
- All students want to feel they belong and are valued.
- All students have the right to benefit from their education.
Student Services are the staff and services provided by school divisions, community partners and agencies, Manitoba Education and Training and the partner departments to meet the needs of students who have exceptional learning, social/emotional, behavioural, sensory, physical, cognitive/intellectual, communication, academic or special health-care needs. Everyone has a role to play in the provision of appropriate educational programming.
Student Services in Turtle Mountain School Division are coordinated by the Assistant Superintendent of Student Services. These services are provided to students who require a wide range of support beyond the regular classroom program.
