The school district’s policy on catchment, registrations, and transfers is being revised. Parents are strongly encouraged to put forward their comments on this policy, and DPAC will be working to highlight some of the important changes and questions raised by this policy. The deadline for submissions is January 6, 2014 – get your input in now!
If you’re interested in participating in this discussion, please email chair@sd57dpac.ca, or call the DPAC cell phone at (250) 649-6770 and leave a message.
We also have a short survey – we are actively seeking input from parents, staff, and other members of the community on various issues around catchment, registration, and transfers. Please click here to fill out our survey: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/dpac/shortsurvey/
