Indigenous Education Consultation Form
The Abbotsford School District receives additional funds to provide Indigenous enhancement services to all students with Indigenous ancestry. This enhancement service is intended to ensure Indigenous students achieve success in the goal areas of the district’s Indigenous Education Enhancement Agreement. The Indigenous Education Enhancement Agreement goals are:
Goal #1 -- Student Success
Goal #2 -- Cultural Identity
Connecting students with culture begins with the land and territory that we are on: Semá:th and Máthxwi. Being grounded in place, students will learn about their own Indigenous cultural identity in a meaningful way. When Indigenous students know their community’s stories and connect this with their identity, they will develop a positive sense of self, belonging, and direction.
Goal #3 -- Equity and Access Through Advocacy
Indigenous students thrive in an environment that supports equity and access to all opportunities in schools.
Parents and Guardians are asked to complete the Indigenous Education Consultation Form and return it to your child’s school.
