Our students are amazing! Daily they proudly represent their families proudly making great choices. We want to show just how wonderful student behaviour is in a graphic. This graphic shows the % of students within the week whose choices never once needed a correction or consequence! This is fantastic! Our goal is 100% each week. Let’s go team DBay and achieve 100%.

Teaching Reading
Preparing students to learn to read comes first from learning to speak and listen. We are using Promoting Literacy Development (PLD) to explicitly teach and track core language skills. A series of videos unpack early literacy skills explained by PLD. External link

To better understand how learning to read works, we are using a model called "Scarborough's Rope". 

oin us as we look at each "strand" of rope and engage students in improving each skill one strand at a time.
