Important Dates & Reminders

Tomorrow is picture day for the Monday/Wednesday kinders.

On Thursday, September 29, Dalhousie will recognize the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation by wearing orange shirts.    Students will also be engaging in learning around Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being.    There is no school on Friday, September 30. Monday/Thursday Kinders are encouraged to wear an orange shirt on Monday, October 3.

Grade 1, 2, and 3 students have the opportunity to go swimming at Churchill Pool on October 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the “Swim to Survive” program. These forms have been sent home with your child. Please fill out the Acknowledgment of Risk form & the Swimming Ability form , returning them to your child’s classroom teacher by no later than September 29, 2022. Both of these forms are required in order for your child to participate in swimming program. Thank you to our Dalhousie Parent Society who generously funded a large portion of the bussing, thereby reducing the individual cost to families.  We will require 6 additional volunteers and 1 male volunteer for each time slot for this field trip to be a success. Please see the Sign Up Genius to sign up for a volunteer slot. Only approved CBE volunteers will be permitted to attend this trip.   As we currently have a shortage of cleared volunteers in the lower grades, parents who are cleared from Kindergarten, Grades 4 & 5 are welcome to sign up.
