Sharing Information

Tryouts for the Intermediate baseball teams will begin the week of May 25, 2026  Tryouts will take place during the school day and students wanting to try out must have proper footwear to participate. We encourage all interested students to participate and showcase their skills. Parents and guardians are reminded to review the Ophea safety requirements ahead of tryouts to stay informed about any associated risks and help ensure a safe and positive experience for all. We are excited to offer this opportunity for students to get involved, build team spirit, and showcase their talents.

The SCDSB has recently launched a new webpage, Digital Safety and Citizenship, on our public website. This resource is designed to provide families with a practical starting point for navigating the digital world through meaningful conversations with their children. It offers helpful background information and context about the tools students use, empowering parents to feel confident and informed when discussing digital life at home.
