Website Survey
D62 Families: We invite you to take a few minutes to participate in a brief survey so we can better understand what is working well and what could be easier to find.
Please take a few minutes to participate in our survey.
Thank you in advance for your honest feedback. The data we gather will inform our strategy and help us make our website more intuitive, accessible and useful.
The survey will close on October 30.
We appreciate your partnership and support!

PBIS
PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide framework that helps students develop positive behaviors and learn in a safe environment. Each week, I will highlight some of the things we are working on so you can help support those expectations at home.
For the month of October, our theme is Kindness. During this month, each classroom will experience a series of anti-bullying lessons.
Lunch Menus
Due to our construction, lunch will be eaten inside the classrooms each day to start the year. Breakfast service has not changed, however, our lunch menu now only has 2 options instead of 3.
