Mission Statement
FNIMmission_web.jpgEveryone has a role to play in ensuring the success of First Nations, Inuit and MĂ©tis students attending Saskatoon Public Schools. The First Nations, Inuit and MĂ©tis Education Unit takes leadership in this area. The staff invite colleagues and stakeholders into the work of creating a better future for all students.

  • To eliminate the learning gaps for First Nations, Inuit and MĂ©tis learners (Higher Literacy and Achievement).
  • To nurture the cultural identity of our children and youth so that they feel pride in who they are, see themselves as strong, capable learners and experience a sense of belonging in our schools (Equitable Opportunities).
  • To develop culturally responsive and inclusive learning environments (Equitable Opportunities).
  • To develop culturally responsive educators, leaders and communities (Higher Literacy and Achievement, and Equitable Opportunities).
