New Website
RETSD has gone to a new platform for the website and the easiest way to find our school website is to
Open a web browser like Edge and type: retsd.mb.ca/sv then hit enter and it will take you to our school website. Or simply click on this link.
All the headers in the brown part are menus so you can hover over them to find information regarding our school. Our Newsletter will be posted to the Parent & Community menu. The Documents & Forms menu has all the school related forms and calendars.
Additionally, effective today we will be posting our weekly news (formerly E-Memo) to the
