PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear RJDS Families,
The summer is drawing to a close, which means it is almost time to begin the 2022-2023 academic year at Richmond Jewish Day School. I hope you have had a chance to rest, recharge and rejuvenate over the warm summer break!
We are thrilled to be welcoming our new and returning students back to RJDS in just a few short days. Here is a link to our Parent-Student Handbook. We believe communication is key to building a strong school community, and this handbook will serve to provide expectations and policies in guiding us as we make this learning journey together. I encourage you to take the time to review it carefully and do not hesitate to reach out to our staff if you have any questions or concerns.
This is a pivotal year for all of us at the school, as we have undergone extensive renovations this summer and are embarking on opening the doors to our new Early Learning Centre! We already have a full calendar of activities and programs mapped out for the new school year under the theme: “Never Stop Growing!”
The focus at RJDS is on developing our students, inspired by Jewish values and ethics, to have strong academic, social, and religious skills and be well prepared to grow into thoughtful, committed, and fully engaged members of the Jewish and broader Canadian communities.
Our ‘little blue school’ continues to be one that models academic excellence, innovation and creativity. RJDS is also a service-minded school, fostering a ‘chesed’ mindset of kindness and compassion. We are an independent school with a public purpose and with this vision, we will continue to strengthen community engagement and partnership strategies to ensure we maintain the philosophy of inclusion, diversity and a sense of belonging to the Jewish community that this school was founded upon.
We are ready for the academic year ahead and we look forward to partnering with you to create a wonderful school year for our students! Together we will strive to provide the best school environment for your child, in every area of their learning growth and development! I look forward to seeing you in September!
Respectfully,
Principal, Richmond Jewish Day School
