The Student Nutrition and Support program helps students overcome obstacles to regular attendance and success at school. It facilitates consistent nutrition programs at all Rainy River District School Board schools and provides support for basic personal needs, elimination of attendance and participation barriers, and supports student pathways.
If you would like more information on how we can support your student(s), I can be reached by email or telephone.
