Happy Friday DDS Families,
Today was a fun day coming together as a DDS community! We celebrated the end of our Read-a-Thon by dressing up and dancing as our favourite book characters. We will continue to collect forms and donations until next Friday, June 5th. Thank you for your support towards our amazing new Serenity Spot!
We also wanted to say welcome and thank you to our new kindergarten families who joined us online last night for our Welcome to Kindergarten information session. We are looking forward to meeting our new students on June 13th in person!
Have a great weekend!

2025-2026 Transportation Registration Now Open – Closes June 22:
The 2025-2026 Transportation registration is now open. To register, sign into your MyCBE account – Student Fees – scroll down to Transportation – Complete registration form.
Families must register by Sunday, June 22, 2025 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year.
Transportation will continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 22 deadline will be delayed.
Confirmed routes will be posted in August. For those who register after the June 22 deadline, it may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus.
Transportation can be cancelled with no financial impact by submitting the cancellation form by Sept. 30, 2025.
Eligibility: If you live outside of the 1.6 km walk zone, your child will be eligible for yellow school bus transportation. If you live inside the walk zone, your child is not eligible for transportation.
