School Calendar – Dorothy Peacock 2022-23
Class Placement Requests: Each year, we invite parents who wish to make a request for their child to do so. We want to remind parents that requests need to be based on the educational needs of their child. All requests MUST come in written form directly to Mr Davids to be considered. While you may speak directly with your child’s current teacher, we need all requests to come through administration. We also want to let parents know that there is no guarantee a request will be met as there are many factors that dictate class placements. Please have these to Mr Davids no later than Friday May 20th. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Parking Lot Safety: As the weather gets better, we will have more students and families walking to and from school. A reminder to please use all sidewalks and cross walks in and around the school. And to those travelling by car, please be sure to slow down and use the designated pick up and drop off areas.
WGSS Regional Track Meet: As parents are looking ahead at their own calendars, we wanted to let you know that the Walnut Grove Regional Track Meet has been set for Friday May 27th at the high school. Parents of athletes are welcome to come and cheer on Peacock Nation! Those competing will be determined in the coming weeks.
DPE PAC News
Neufeld Farms Fundraiser: The weather is warmer and BBQ season is upon us! To help you stock up on all of your favourite items, the DPE PAC is running a Neufeld Farms Fundraiser this spring, which will raise funds for initiatives within the school.
