Dear DDS Families

Your child’s report card will be available through your MyCBE parent account tomorrow at 8:00 am. It is very important you download this before July 26th as it will no longer be available after this date. A reminder that Thursday June 27th is the last day of school. Thursday is an early dismissal day for students in grades 1 to 5 and dismissal will be 11:45 am.

As we approach the end of another remarkable school year, I would like to share my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support, trust, and partnership in your child's learning journey. I am immensely proud of our students for their hard work, adaptability, and achievements throughout the year. Their kindness, curiosity, and enthusiasm inspire us daily and remind us of the joy of learning and life.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our exceptional staff. Their commitment to learning excellence and care for each student is truly commendable. As we say good-bye to Michelle Blais, Kim Christensen, Taylor Potter and Ashley Laanstra, we wish them the very best in their future endeavors. We are excited to welcome Cassandra Brocke and Carol Zuckernick to our DDS staff.

As we look forward to a well-deserved summer break, I encourage you to cherish the moments spent together as a family and continue to foster a love for learning in your child. Please remember to take time for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Looking ahead to the next school year, we are committed to building on our caring community and further enhancing the educational experience for every student. We will continue to keep you informed of any updates through our school website. You can expect a welcome back email from the office and your child’s teacher on August 27th. While we know summer registration may require some changes, our anticipated staffing assignments for next year are:

  • Kindergarten: Kitty Chan, Kathleen Garneau, Anna Vilaysane
