Happy Friday DDS Families! 

We would like to remind families that personal mobile devices are required to be ‘away for the day’. With the increase in students owning and wearing smartwatches, we are asking students to keep smartwatches and phones either at home, or in their backpack during school hours. For additional information, please refer to CBE’s Away for the Day guidelines. Students with documented medical needs are exempt from these guidelines. If you have any questions, or feel your child meets the outlined exemption criteria, please reach out to Mrs. McKay to discuss further. Any urgent communication with your child during the day can be done through the office. We appreciate your support in ensuring students are focused on learning while at school.   

 Thank you, 

Heather McKay 

Douglasdale School, Principal
