French Immersion Parent Literacy NightAs part of DCDSB's ongoing efforts to strengthen home-school connections in French Immersion, we’ve launched a series of French Immersion Primary Parent Literacy Nights for families with students in Grades 1 to 3. These evenings are designed to build parent understanding of how children learn to read, the recent shifts in literacy instruction, and how families can support literacy development at home—regardless of the language spoken.
Dear Parents and Guardians, Throughout the month of November, the Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) pays our respects to the over 2.3 million Canadians who have served our country, and continue to serve, in times of war, conflict and peace.
