School Update Sept 7, 2023

Welcome back!

It wonderful to see all of you and the students have started to settle back into routine.

Just a reminder that as the school receives new registrations over the few weeks, there could always be some class reorganization. We know that it not easy for the students or families when this happens but the school needs to follow provincial class size guidelines.

Healthy Hunger lunch orders are back! This provides families an opportunity to order a special lunch for their students on Mondays! You may order as much or as little as you wish. This is totally optional and there is no obligation to take part. To order, you do need to create an account at https://healthyhunger.ca/ if you Have not created one yet. Payments are made to Healthy Hunger and usually you need to put in the order the Thursday before the next Monday you wish to order lunch for.

You will need to reregister your child(ren) with their new classes, even if you took part in the program last year.

Student Accident Insurance

Providing safe learning environments is a strong and constant focus at the Durham District School Board. Families should however recognize that there is always a potential risk of injury with field trips, sports and other student activities both on and off school grounds. Accidents can happen, despite precautions to prevent them. Accidental injuries may involve medical, dental or other expenses not covered by provincial health care or employer group plans.

Please be aware that the Durham District School Board does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries. For your convenience, we do make available a Student Accident Insurance program through Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada. This program offers a variety of plans and benefits at affordable prices. 

All rates are one-time annual premiums. The insurance agreement is between you and Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada. For complete details please refer to the insuremykids Protection Plan information/application form or visit their website at: www.insuremykids.com.

Any questions should be directed to Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada toll free at 1-800-463-5437.
