Our goal is to ensure all students have equitable opportunities for success. Targeted supports and close collaboration are required to realize the vision that all First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in Alberta achieve or exceed the educational outcomes set for Alberta students. Aurora currently has an Elder-In-Residence who would be pleased to help support your child and family in whatever ways we can -- feel free to contact her at dianne.ludwig@nlsd.ab.ca.
