Davisville JPS Family Skate Night  Dear Families, School Council has planned a Family Skate Night for our school community. What a wonderful way to continue the momentum of building upon school community spirit. Please see below for the details regarding this event: Date: Friday, February 2 from 5:30-7 PM Location: Davisville Family Skate Night returns to Hodgson! Please join us for an evening of fun involving music, hot chocolate and skating! Lates and Absences Dear Families, We continue to have many students coming late in the mornings and being absent. Please note that regular attendance at school is an important factor in every student’s academic success. We encourage all of our students to develop this important habit. It is also important to be on time for school to avoid disrupting the class. When a student is late, he/she is expected to report to the office. Students leaving the school during the day, for any reason, or at lunch are required to sign out in the school office. Parents/caregivers wishing to pick up children at school early for appointments etc. must complete our Student Pick Up Form (see below). We will do our best to ensure that your child is down in the office ready for pick up at the requested time. Davisville/Spectrum Student Pick Up Form Virtual Learning This is a reminder that the TDSB will continue to offer Virtual Learning for the 2024-2025 school year. Students who are currently enrolled in virtual learning (from Kindergarten to Grade 11) will automatically be enrolled in virtual learning for 2024-2025, unless they complete the Return to In-Person form.
