Dorset School

Today (and everyday!) we stand together against bullying. Pink shirt day is a day to focus on working together and treating others with dignity and respect. In a world where you can choose anything, choose kindness!

Dorset’s Carnival Week has begun! Today was TWIN TUESDAY. Our students and staff really went all out. Great job coordinating with your friends. It was a twintastic day

Thank you to our amazing Home & School for our delicious lunch. It was the perfect way to end our week. Merci beaucoup

Good morning Dorset families, As we continue on our first week of online learning let's take a moment to think about good digital citizenship or "netiquette". It is not permitted to record or screen capture Zoom meetings and lessons. Do not take photos or screen capture the Zoom screen as it contains students who may not have permission to be photographed. Do not post videos of lessons or photos of classes on the internet or any social media platforms. Let's keep our students, teachers and staff safe and comfortable in this new learning environment. We can raise the next generation of great digital citizens by modelling great netiquette ourselves today. Thank you.

Dear Parents, Although this year’s event will be different than in the past, Dorset Elementary is pleased to be participating in the 2020 Terry Fox School Run to be held Thursday, September 24, 2020 (rain or shine!). Although Dorset always appreciates the involvement of its community, we ask that you support us from home this year.... Grade levels will be running at the same time of day on a different area of Dorset property. Students will remain within their respective class bubbles. Run times will be held in 30 minute blocks. We are proud to be associated with the Terry Fox Foundation and believe that our involvement will help contribute to finding a cure for cancer. In order to eliminate the handling of cash, we ask that donations be made online this year. All monies raised through the event will be forwarded to the Terry Fox Foundation to further the cause of cancer research. Parents can contribute online: http://www.terryfox.ca/DorsetSchool We appreciate the support of the Dorset community. Classes will be watching a Terry Fox video in their class before heading out on their run around the school grounds. Looking forward to this annual tradition! Staff of Dorset Elementary

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to Linda Kollar. Mrs. Kollar has recently taken her retirement this September. She will be deeply missed by students, staff and parents alike. Her numerous contributions to the classroom, the Resource department and many school based committees will be missed by all of us at Dorset. We wish you health and happiness! May this time be yours to enjoy The Dorset Elementary School Community
