As our school year comes to a close, I want to say thank you to all our families for you partnership and commitment to our students in an effort to ensure they are learning and supported at the Ditson School. Ditson teachers and staff could not do it alone and we not only value, but appreciate your continued commitment to our students and school.

Please be on the look out this August for your child's 2026-2027 class placement. We will be sending emails to all families containing that and other pertinent information.

Wishing you all a very enjoyable and relaxing summer!


Sincerely,

Victoria Hatem, Principal
