Escuela Dalhousie Weekly News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On January 8, we hosted our Open House for Kindergarten and Grade 1, and we are thrilled to share that we had a fantastic turnout! It was wonderful to meet so many families and future Dalhousie students. We are excited to welcome these new learners into our school community.

A big thank-you goes out to our amazing Grade 5 students for leading tours and making our guests feel at home. We also appreciate the efforts of all our teachers who participated and helped make the event such a success.  Thank-you to our School Council and Parent Society Chairs for attending our open house this week.

We look forward to an incredible year ahead with our new students joining us!

¡Que tengan un buen fin de semana!

Movement Unit - Physical Education

From January 12 - February 6 , 2026, students will be participating in a movement/Mission Impossible unit in physical education.  Within all physical education units, students have opportunities to develop their individual skill level, share their accomplishments and experience the satisfaction of teamwork in a safe and non-threatening atmosphere.  In order that students stay safe and have enhanced learning experience, we ask that students follow the expectations listed below. We would like each student to review these guidelines with their parents as they will help them better understand the importance we place on safety.

Please review these student expectations: 

·         No jewelry, watches to be worn during the activity

·         Comfortable clothing, no hoodies, or pants that are too long

·         Bare feet or gymnastics slippers can be worn on feet

·         All long hair must be tied back or up

·         Students will work independently or in small groups

·         Students should work quietly as they practice movements as noise can distract others and may cause falls

·         Children will only do what they are comfortable doing. 

·         Students must land on their seat on the crash mat

·        No aerial stunts such as dive rolls, somersaults, flips, head springs or handsprings are allowed

·        Student safety is of the utmost importance at Dalhousie.
