Hello,
DPS Leaving Class 2021 (Grade 5 English and Grade 6 FI): As outlined by the board, all TDSB schools will be celebrating farewells virtually this school year.
The staff have collaborated to create a wonderful pre-recorded celebration for our Grade 5 and Grade 6 FI students. An email will be sent out to all families of leaving students for the Virtual Leaving Class Presentation which will take place on Thursday, June 24th at 4:00 p.m. It will be posted and available for families to access throughout the week.
Grade 8 Graduation Reminder
As outlined by the board, all TDSB schools will be celebrating graduations virtually this school year. The staff have collaborated to create a wonderful pre-recorded celebration for our Grade 8 students. An email will be sent out to all Grade 8 families for the Virtual Graduation Presentation which will take place on Tuesday, June 22nd at 6:00 p.m. It will be posted and available for families to access throughout the week.
School Pick Up/Drop Off of Items
With the news that schools will remain closed for the rest of the
2020-2021 school year, we are now focusing on how students can retrieve their
belongings from schools and return any outstanding items, such as text books,
that belong to the school.
We have established a process, using Toronto Public Health guidelines, for students and parents/families to come into the
school, should you wish to do so, to collect anything left behind and as well
as to return any outstanding items.
Devices and all power cables, cases and chargers
that were delivered with the device can begin being returned to any TDSB school now until
Friday, July 2 (for elementary schools) and
Friday, July 9 (for secondary schools) between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Learn more about returning technology here.
Our process will follow all physical distancing requirements,
which means that it will take some time for everyone to have the opportunity to
come in. I want to stress that we are being as responsible as possible in how
we move through this process and that the number of people who can be in our
school at a given time is well below that recommended by Toronto Public Health.
Please note that masks or face coverings will be required to enter the
building. A limited number will be available but you are encouraged to bring
and wear your own. We appreciate your patience and support as we work through
this together.
Thank you to all those who completed the GForm indicating a 10 minute window to come in (please only one person per family).
If you are feeling unwell, please do not come to the school.
Before entering the building, you will be asked to conduct a self-assessment
for any COVID-19 related symptoms, including fever, cough and runny nose and
that you have not been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for
COVID-19.
When you arrive at the school at your designated time, please:
- conduct self-screening measures
- enter through the
front door
- use hand sanitizer
and wear a mask
- respect all
physical distancing requirements, staying at least 6 feet away from others
- drop off any items
at the entry (include your child’s name, teacher and list of items
returned)
- retrieve belongings
from classroom
- put any garbage in
the bins provided
- exit school
property promptly
Non-essential items, such as notebooks and pencils, that are not
picked up will be discarded. Clothing and personal items will be packed up and
stored until the fall.
I know this is not the way we expected to end the school year but
I appreciate your support in making this process as smooth and efficient as
possible. I am already looking ahead to the fall when we can be together again
in hopefully a more familiar way.
Moving
We are now in the process of planning for the 2021/22 school year. If you are moving, please remember to inform the office as soon as possible by sending an email to Davisville: biljana.svilaric@tdsb.on.ca and Spectrum: jyothisatyan.hiremaglur@tdsb.on.ca
TDSB Return of Borrowed Student Devices: As per email sent to families from TDSBs Peter Singh on Friday, June 18, 2021.
In preparation for the start of the 2021-22 school year, families
that borrowed devices (eg. iPad, Chromebook, Internet Hub) from the TDSB or
local school are asked to return them.
Please return the device, case and all chargers/power cables that were delivered with the device to any TDSB school starting Monday, June 14 until Friday, July 2 (for elementary schools) and Friday, July 9 (for secondary schools) between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Schools will receive devices even if remote learning continues.
All devices not returned by July 2 will be administratively locked, preventing student login. These devices will need to be returned when school resumes in September.
Students enrolled in a summer program run by TDSB may continue using the device for the duration of the summer program and should return the device in September.
If you have already returned the device to a TDSB School, please disregard this message.
If you have any questions, please contact DeviceReturns@tdsb.on.ca.
