Digital Delivery of Report Cards

As we approach the time of year when Progress Report Cards are distributed to our elementary schools, we would like to inform you of an important change in how we will be delivering student Report Cards. 

Much like last June, we are excited to communicate that we will be continuing electronic delivery of student reports.  This means that your child's Report Cards will be sent directly to your child's registered DPCDSB student email account. This process aims to provide you with quicker and more convenient access to your child's academic updates. 

For instructions on how to access student email accounts, please access the following document:

Student Progress Reports will be digitally delivered on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.

We understand that some parents/guardians may prefer a hard copy of the Report Card. You may request a printed copy by contacting your classroom teacher, and we will be more than happy to assist you.  

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we utilize this electronic delivery system. If you have any questions or require further assistance regarding the electronic delivery of Report Cards, please do not hesitate to contact the school. When the report cards have been sent, we will send a follow-up email with instructions on how to access the report cards.   

Thank you for your ongoing support in our efforts to enhance communication between the school and our valued parents and guardians.

2025-2026 EXTENDED FRENCH INFORMATION SESSION DETAILS

Grade 4 parents/guardians who wish to learn more about Extended French or wish to enroll their child in a Grade 5 Extended French program for September 2025, are invited to attend an information meeting at one of the following virtual parent evening sessions:

2025-2026 French Immersion Program Virtual Information Sessions

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) will hold two virtual public information meetings for parents and guardians interested in enrolling their child(ren) in the board's Grade 1 French Immersion Program for the 2025-2026 school year. 

The information sessions will provide parents and guardians with the following:

• an overview of the French Immersion Program, 
• criteria for admission,
• information about the online application process,
• information about the random selection process (should the number of applications exceed the number of spaces available).
  
  DPCDSB currently offers the Grade 1 French Immersion Program at eight school sites. Students registered in this Grade 1 program will spend 90% of their year learning in the French language. All subjects and activities in the French Immersion classroom, except for Religion and Family Life, will be delivered in French. In Grades 2 and 3, 70% of the instruction will be in French, with the proportion of English increasing to 50% in later years. This means that after at least 3,800 hours of French instruction by the end of Grade 8, students will be able to participate adequately in French conversations and develop intercultural awareness of French-speaking communities.
  
  Virtual information sessions for parents/guardians will be held on two different evenings based on region of interest. We ask that parents/guardians attend only one of the following online sessions:
