At DSB1, we build strong partnerships and varied pathways for our students to succeed. These pathways and partnerships are highlighted in the opportunities and activities students experience throughout the school year, showcased within our December 2022 Strategic Plan Vignette!

Across the region, DSB1 students and staff honoured Truth and Reconciliation Week and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation through attendance and participation in Pow Wows and in-classroom activities and teachings.

Flags are flown at half-mast on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, to mark The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

We are pleased to present our November 2022 Strategic Plan Vignette! Students, families, and staff help bring our Strategic Action of Communication to life, demonstrating appreciation for stakeholders within our DSB1 community.

DSB1 is committed to providing equitable learning environments so that all students can achieve personal excellence. To achieve this, we must truly understand the needs of our students and their families.

We are pleased to announce that we are launching the “ONE and Only Me” survey for all families and students to complete by December 2nd, 2022.

On Sunday, November 20, 2022, a tentative agreement was reached for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).

As a result, CUPE will not take any job action and all DSB1 schools will remain open. Further, there will be no disruption to student learning or any school-related activities.

On Wednesday, November 16, 2022 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., District School Board Ontario North East (DSB1) and Northern College invite you to attend a collaboratively hosted Virtual Fall Keynote featuring acclaimed author Tanya Talaga.

This week, District School Board Ontario North East (DSB1) joins our community in acknowledging and honouring Treaties Recognition Week, which takes place annually during the first complete week of November. Across DSB1, students learn about the significance of treaties and the critical role and purpose they serve.

As we enter the second year of our 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, we are thrilled to continue to bring our three Strategic Priorities and nine Strategic Actions to life through our monthly Strategic Plan Vignettes!
