Stomp Out Bullying Day - Monday, October 6th
Next Monday, October 6th, is World Day of Bullying Prevention, and the Ditson is joining in solidarity to STOMP OUT BULLYING by wearing BLUE and also reciting an anti-bullying pledge as a whole school! At the end of the day, students will bring the pledge home. We ask that you review it with them, sign it and return it to school.
We encourage all students and staff to wear blue to show our support for this important initiative.
Picture Day is Coming
Get your smiles on - Picture day is Wednesday, October 15th!

What's Happening in Specials
Ditson School App
Improving student learning outcomes is the top priority for all of us here at the Ditson Elementary School. We know that parent and family engagement is one of the biggest factors in student success, and our new Ditson Elementary School App will allow parents to easily connect with what is going on at the school. From in-app translations to push notifications for urgent messages, we know this will be an impactful addition to our existing methods of communicating with families.
