Dear Parents and Guardians,

The health and safety of Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) students is our highest priority. All DCDSB schools are closed today due to insufficient snow removal across several parts of the region, and all DSTS busses have been cancelled.

Secondary students will continue with online classes today. 

There will be no live online classes for elementary students (including Durham Virtual Elementary School students). Students/families should check Edsby for updates and asynchronous materials that will be posted online for those who wish to access them. Families are also reminded of the materials and resources accessible through TVO Learn?and?TFO?IDÉLLO, apprendre à la maison, which provide supports for students by accessing additional educational resources developed by Ontario certified teachers.?

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we monitored the roads in hopes that they would be clear this morning. We realize that this is another disruption during the ongoing pandemic. However, the snowfall experienced yesterday has made it unsafe for many students and staff to return in-school today.

With the arrival of winter weather, we ask that you continue to check dsts.on.ca for school bus cancellations and delays and monitor your school’s website and social media for regular updates and information.

Yours in faith,

Tracy Barill
Director of Education
