October’s Parent and Student Information Night

Happy October! We hope all the students had a great start to their school year.

For all the grade 7 students and their parents that are looking for more information about the DT Odyssey Program, we kindly invite you to attend the information night on Wednesday, October 18th, from 6:30 PM to 8 PM in the school auditorium.  Please enter through the main entrance on 55th Avenue (not through all the other building doors) that leads directly to the auditorium.
