Book Fair @ DSPS

Scholastic Book Fair

Everyone is invited to attend our Book Fair being held in the library from Monday December 3^rd to Friday December 7^th. It is a great opportunity to purchase books and at the same time support our library. For every $10 spent at the Book Fair, up to $6 goes back to our school. This allows us to purchase new books and build our library collection. The Fair will be open Monday to Thursday from 9:10 am to 12:40 pm and from 2:00 pm to 3:20 pm for classroom visits. A newsletter with a schedule of classroom visits and a preview flyer will be sent home with students on Friday November 30^th. Mrs. Tompkins-London is looking forward to seeing everyone at this exciting literacy event!

Transitioning to High School Event @ DSPS

David Suzuki Public School is proud to offer an event for parents and students in grades 6, 7 & 8 on Thursday, November 22, 2018 from 6:00-7:30 pm in our gymnasium. This session, entitled 'Transitioning to High School', is intended to support families as they transition from the elementary grades to high school. Our Elementary Itinerant Transition/Guidance Teacher, Alison Campbell, will be available to answer questions from parents and students, along with former students from various high schools. Discussion will focus on, but not be limited to, decision making skills in our children, resiliency, and the differences between Academic versus Applied courses. We look forward to supporting our families as they embark on the next chapter of their educational journey!
