Happy Friday DDS! 

It was a fun week in the gym learning how to play a cooperative game called 9-Square in the Air. Just a reminder you can peek into DDS day-to-day life via our @dds346cbe Instagram page and your child’s Google Classroom.  

We are looking forward to meeting online with parents next week during Parent/Teacher conferences to celebrate student learning. Teachers will be sending home learning packages next week to support these conversations. If you are not able to attend during the scheduled conference times, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher to make alternate arrangements. 

Save the Date – We are excited about our upcoming Trickster residency after Spring Break. This is an opportunity to bring curriculum to life through the arts. We will be hosting two performances on April 4 and families are invited to attend. Due to our gymnasium capacity, we will be hosting two performances. The performances will be recorded and shared via Google Classroom for those who are unable to make the daytime performance. If you can volunteer to support this learning opportunity, please sign up here: Douglasdale sign up genius 

Performance times are listed below:  

9:15 am – 10:15 am Trickster Performance:  

Chan, Vilaysane, Haggard, Otterson, Brocke, Koehler, Audette, Field, and Shaw 

10:30 am – 11:30 am Trickster Performance:

Have a great weekend!

Casino Volunteers Needed:

We are looking for volunteers to help on May 7th and 8th, 2025 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. We have lots of shifts available and need many volunteers to make this a success. This fundraiser will result in between $60,000 and $80,000 in funding that supports all sorts of activities at Douglasdale School. 

You do not need a police clearance to volunteer, nor do you need to have a child at Douglasdale School. If you or another adult (friend, family member, etc) can help us out by working a casino shift, please let us know by emailing ddsvolunteering@gmail.com.
