At the Durham Catholic District School Board, we value parent and guardian engagement in their child's education. We believe the partnership between home, parish and school is vital to a student's success. We know good schools become better schools when there is a strong connection with the parent community. This can be achieved through volunteering at your child's school or Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee.
We are committed to fostering a positive and welcoming school climate in all our schools. Learn more about our Safe and Accepting Schools program.
Whether it's a student absence or a concern/ incident of bullying - you can report it. Open lines of communication between you and your child's school will ensure we are addressing any concerns and providing students with supports.
