We hope that you can join us for 'Meet the Teacher' on Tuesday afternoon, September 18th from 4:30 PM-6:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you, chatting briefly and having an opportunity for your child to show you around the classroom. Stop in for a short visit. We'd love to see you. 

Friday, September 21st is our first Pizza Day of this school year. Parents can order pizza for their children using either of the two methods outlined below...

1) Pre-book your order using the DSBN Cash On-Line system on your computer or tablet.

2) Send money to school with your child on Friday morning in his/her Mr. Zip Bag. Clearly label the money with your child's name and the type of pizza desired. Children may have either plain cheese pizza or cheese and pepperoni. 

The cost is $1.00 per slice. Pizza days will continue throughout the year on each Friday unless otherwise communicated in a note or newsletter.  

Reminder: 

 Tomorrow, September 14th is EARLY RELEASE DAY.  All students go home or to daycare at 12:05 PM.

Calling All Headphones

On Monday, September 17th, the students in K-1 will participate in their first computer class of the school year. Each child will require a pair of his/her own headphones to use for this activity. The school no longer provides these for students. If you have already sent in a pair of headphones for your child, thank you. If not, please purchase a pair of inexpensive headphones and write your child's name on them. Place them in a large Ziploc bag labeled with your child's name and send them to school in his/her backpack. We will keep them throughout the year and return them to you in late June of next year.  Many thanks.
