What an incredible start to the school year! The positive energy was tangible throughout the building over the first two days of school. I would like to take this opportunity to thank teachers for their diligent planning to help returning and new students feel welcomed and excited about the school year.
We were also excited to meet a number of new families during our orientation presentation Thursday morning. For those who could not attend, we have uploaded our presentation to our website in the Back to School section. Also, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email.
In our school assembly, students were excited to learn about the wide array of clubs, sports teams, and field trips that are being offered this year. Also, with the relaxation of health measures, we will see the return of major excursions, including: Bamfield, Eastern Canada, Camp Chief Hector, overnight band camps, and exciting new Outdoor Education trips. We will communicate further information as soon as possible.
We want to ensure you are kept up to date on what's happening at David Thompson. We will be sending out the Weekly Informer email every Friday to keep you up to date. Teachers will also be posting regularly on D2L (or Google Classroom for grade 5). We encourage you to review this information with your child regularly as this is an excellent way to engage with your child about what they are learning.
We look forward to an amazing year working together!
