Dear Parents:
Happy June!
Our new school year will bring some staffing changes in September. Johanna Burrows will be on leave for the school year. Ms. Burrows has been a teacher at D.A. for a number of years, and we wish her all the best in her year off. Kyla Simpson has accepted a position as a Middle French Immersion teacher at Bell's Corner's Public School. We will miss her energy at D.A. and wish her all the best just down the road! Richard Latour has been appointed Vice-Principal at Featherston Drive Public School. Our loss is Featherston's gain, and we know that he will do a fantastic job in his new role there!
When you and your child(ren) return in September, you will see several changes to the main entrance to the school. The paving in the bus lanes and sidewalk will be redone, more grass will be planted, and interlocking stone will be added to the walkway. We are looking forward to safer footing and a more visually appealing entrance to the building.
Congratulations to our School Psychologist, Dan Kehoe, who has been selected to receive the Director's Citation from Lyall Thomson, the Director of Education for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. Dan has done incredible work to serve exceptional students and their families from DA Moodie over the three years that he has worked here. He is in good company with our school Social Worker, Larry Gauthier, who won the same award this past school year. Needless to say, we feel blessed to have had this excellent level of support from Larry and Dan. Congratulations to them both!
We have included a school supply list for the fall in this newsletter. Please use this list as your guide when you shop in August. On the list you will also see the new school hours and class times. Your pre-teen or teen can all look forward to our new 9:30 a.m. start and 4:00 p.m. final bell that we hope will improve student learning and safety.
Good luck to our grade 8 students in their move to high school!
I wish you all a happy and safe summer holiday.
Sincerely,
Heather Graham
Principal
