What's Happening at the "D"
V5 #5 2018/2019
Grades 4-6 Progress Reports will be taken home by students on Friday, December 13th
A note from the Principal...
When I'm reading for enjoyment, I read things about school, education, learning, children, thinking... you get the picture. :) Recently, I came across this "open letter" to parents on a teacher's blog.
When students make a mistake and it affects another student, there are times when parents of the other student ask about the student who made the first mistake. I cannot share the consequences that the student receives or other personal information.
When I came across this "open letter", I thought it would be a good message to send out, I found it thought provoking.
Please take a moment to click below.

Parking Lot Safety
I have heard some concerns from parents lately about parents not following the flow of traffic. If you would like to park on the left side of the parking lot, please follow proper traffic flow and drive through the parking lot. A diagram of traffic flow is attached.
As a reminder:
~The flow of traffic is one way.
~Driving to the parking lot behind the building is NOT allowed, no student drop off in the back of the building.
~Please be courteous to other drivers, kids are most likely within earshot and modeling patience will benefit their learning.
Thank you! :)
