It’s Almost Time to Welcome You Back, Dundana!

I hope all of our returning and new Dundana families have had a wonderful summer.  Dundana staff are returning to the school this week to prepare the building and we are excited to welcome students back to class for the 2022-23 school year.

We know that the past two years have been challenging, and we are thrilled to see students, staff, and families again. Each new year is a great new opportunity.

A friendly reminder that the first day of school for Grades 1 to 5 students will be Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Our entry time is 8:55 a.m. and dismissal is at 3:15 p.m.  Our JK and SK students will start their school adventure on Wednesday, September 7, 2022 with our newest students (JK) coming for short visits on the 6th.

First Day Plans

For Grades 1 to 5 students, we will meet students on the back playground at 8:55 a.m. (Supervision begins at 8:40 a.m.) on the first day. Educators will have signs showing their class number and educator name to help you find your lines. For families who are unsure of where to go, some school staff will be circulating with lists to help you find the needed information. If your child is not yet registered, you will be advised to go to the office to complete that process.  Our Kindergarten students will meet on the Kindergarten playground at the front of the school on their first day on Wednesday. Bus students will be led off of buses to their playgrounds and school staff will help them to get organized in their lines as well.  At 3:15 dismissal, classes will be dismissed from the playground by their educators to buses, Umbrella program and to waiting family members. It is helpful for teachers to be aware of your dismissal plans for your child (particularly young children) so consider giving your child a note to give to the teacher on the first day to help them organize dismissal plans for your child. Supervision will remain available until 3:30.

Communication

We invite families to keep up with communications from HWDSB and Dundana School by subscribing to email updates . Regular updates on our school website are the main way to communicate school news (e.g. upcoming special days or events), health and safety updates (e.g. positive COVID case notification) and celebrate the wonderful work our students and educators are doing.

See the attached letter that provides more information that should answer many of the common questions families may have at this time.
