What's Happening @ DACS?

The money you donated throughout this school year has helped students in Haiti! To everyone who donated to Mission Money Monday – we received this note of appreciation from Word and Deed and Adoration Christian School:

“I just wanted to send you a thank you card on behalf of Word & Deed and our partners Adoration Christian School!

We understand that school is out for the summer, but we still wanted to thank Dufferin Area Christian School for their donation.”

There is no school today. Enjoy your day off!

There is no school today due to the winter storm. Enjoy your day and stay safe everyone!

Announcement from the Ontario Ministry of Education:

Today, the Ontario government launched Catch Up Payments, offering families direct financial support to support their children as they catch up. This money can be used to help to offset costs, whether that be for educational supplies, additional tutoring supports or other items to help their children address learning needs resulting from the pandemic. This new initiative commits a total of $365 million in direct financial relief for parents.

Families of students in publicly funded, private, First Nation/federally-operated or home-school settings will receive financial support. Students (up to 18 years old) can receive $200 per child, while students with special education needs (up to 21 years old) can receive $250. Families can apply for Catch Up Payments through a secure website (https://www.ontario.ca/page/catch-up-payments) where they can create a unique profile for each eligible student and check the status of their application throughout the process. Applications for Catch Up Payments are now open and will remain open until March 31, 2023.
