What's Happening @ DACS?

We are so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to continue teaching and learning uninterrupted, and that we can now officially wrap up the school year!

Have a blessed summer break everyone and we will see you in September!

The most wonderful time of the year is here – the Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass!

With a one-time application fee of $29.99 kids can ski & snowboard for FREE across Canada!

The SnowPass benefits include:

• Access to multiple ski areas across Canada. Return to your favorite hills and try new ones.
• You can ski not once, but TWICE at every participating ski area
• Fresh air and exercise.
• Fun with family and friends.
• Memories that last a lifetime.

For more information read through the “Grade 4-5 SnowPass” letter posted in the “Resources” section of MyDACS and visit https://snowpass.ca/.

Welcome to our new school year!

We are very excited to be back, and our prayer is that we will be able to stay in school this year. You may have noticed the theme text for this year. We will be focusing on what these words of the apostle Paul mean for our tasks at school and elsewhere in all sorts of circumstances.

Our rooms and hallways have been polished and decorated. They are awaiting the students.

We invite you to come to our opening assembly today at 9:00am in the gym. Be mindful of the regular COVID precautions.

May the Lord bless our school year!

Here is a quick update with more to come next week. 

This past Monday Premier Doug Ford announced the closure of schools for in-person learning after the Spring Break (announcement is available at the link here: Ontario Moves Schools to Remote Learning Following Spring Break.) 

This closure includes private school and as such DACS will also be transitioning to remote learning next week.  For students, Spring Break will effectively be extended 3 days with remote learning commencing Thursday, April 22nd.  This 3-day turnaround to start next week will allow staff to prepare packages and organize any necessary pick-ups.  Staff will follow up next week with the details. 

While returning to remote learning is not the news we were looking for, it is the path that the Lord has put before us and so we humbly, through prayer and petition, work through all that He has set before us.   We can be thankful for the additional days we could have had last week, and as Board we pray that all students, parents, volunteers, employees and staff alike can have a refreshing and blessed break.
