D.A. Moodie’s School Council has secured a grant to increase parental involvement in our school by proposing that School Council host two Family Nights at our school (tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 25 and April 22, 2010 from 7 to 9 pm).
Welcome to our website!
We are pleased to be able to give you all the D. A. Moodie news electronically in a website that reflects our school’s colours — grey, burgundy and white. Here you will find general information about our school, the latest newsletters and notices, information about extracurricular activities, a special Resources page for students and teachers, and a link to School Council information.
D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School serves the educational needs of over 400 students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 from the Lakeview, Bell's Corners, and Bayshore areas of Ottawa, Ontario. Our students come from wonderfully diverse ethnic, racial, and faith communities. Students are enrolled in the Regular English or Early French Immersion Program. We also have an English as a Second Language Program, and students with special learning needs can access the programs and services offered by our Special Education Department. There are two special education system classes - the General Learning Program and the Developmentally Disabilities Class.
November 4, 2009—Principal Heather Graham announced today that D.A. Moodie's school day could start as late as 9:30 A.M. beginning September, 2010. If approved, the school day would end at 4:00 P.M. In addition to a favourable response from 85% of D.A. staff and up to 71% of parents, Ms. Graham said that the benchmark used for this decision is: "Will a later start time improve student learning and/or student safety? It is actually the benchmark that I use for all decision making in school," she added.
