Principal’s Message:
Welcome to the start of a new school year! I am excited to welcome our returning students and extend a special greeting to those joining us for the first time. This year promises to be filled with exciting learning opportunities, new friendships, and memorable experiences. Our dedicated staff worked hard to prepare for today, ensuring that our school is a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for all students. We are committed to fostering a community where every child feels valued and is inspired to learn. We encourage you to stay connected with us throughout the year. Your involvement and support are important to your child’s success. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and be sure to participate in our upcoming events and activities. Follow us on Instagram at sunnybulldogs1. Please understand that based on our official enrollment numbers, class reorganization may take place on September 24th. Teachers will do their best to place students where they feel they will be most successful. I hope everyone had a fantastic first day of school!

STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE 2024-25
The SCDSB does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that occur on school premises, at board-sponsored events, or during school extracurricular activities (e.g., athletics, clubs). However, accidents can and do happen. Injuries can result in substantial expenses that are not covered by the SCDSB or provincial health care. If families do not have existing or sufficient extended health or dental coverage, a variety of plans and benefits at reasonable annual prices can be found through either:
- StudyInsured at www.studyinsuredstudentaccident.com or by calling 1-833-560-0527; or,
- Insure my Kids at www.insuremykids.com or by calling 1-800-463-5437
Participation in extracurricular activities (e.g., athletics, clubs, etc.) require the purchase of this insurance, or other extended health and dental coverage.
