The Solar Eclipse is coming next Monday, 4/8/24. Peak viewing for the solar eclipse will be at 3:15pm. We urge parents to educate your children about safe viewing practices, including the use of certified solar viewing glasses or pinhole projectors. Thank you to our local library for providing solar eclipse glasses to all of our students. Extra eclipse glasses may be picked up at the local library. Supervision of younger children during the eclipse is advised. Remember, not looking directly at the solar eclipse is best practice just like we don’t look directly at the sun.
DeTour Area Schools and DATA will not be holding classes tomorrow, Friday 22 March 2024, due to potential accumulating snow throughout the day, into the afternoon. No CTE.
March 20th, 2024.
Due to the wind, the ferry boat is only leaving at the top of the hour. Therefore, all students at DeTour and Drummond Island will be released early from school today at 2:45pm in order to make the ferry at 3:00pm. Once again, all staff and students at Detour and Drummond Island schools will be released today at 2:45pm. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Our middle and high school students had a fantastic experience participating in the LSSU Pi day math competition this week! They formed four teams (two HS - two MS) and engaged in a series of high level, fast paced sessions. The competition was strong, but they held their own, both finishing in the top half of the 28 competing teams. Great job everyone, we're proud of you!
It appears that 2 calendars have been put out for general consumption and there may be some confusion. Please know that our official return to school day after Springbreak is Monday 1 April. Please forgive us for any confusion.
Due to freezing rain, high wind, dropping temperatures and weather not getting better until later this afternoon, DeTour Area Schools, and DATA will be closed today. We will make the determination as to whether or not we will have extra curriculars later today. Please share.
Don't forget about Parent/Teacher Conferences!
This is a reminder to our families that we have parent/teacher conferences coming up over the next two days. Drummond Island Elementary will have parent teacher conferences tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb 28th from 3:30pm to 6:00pm.
On Thursday, Feb 29th, all students will be released at 12:30pm for a half day of school. All schools will then have parent/teacher conferences from 12:30pm to 3:30pm. Thursday evening only DATA and DeTour High School will have parent/teacher conferences from 3:30pm to 6:00pm.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone!
Thirteen of our 10th and 11th graders that had registered to attend, along with their Cedarville HS counterparts, had an engaging and informative experience on their field trip at the Career Center in the Soo! They were given a brief tour of each program offered, followed by an extended session with the head instructor of the field that interested them. Those that are interested and who's grades/schedules allow, will have an opportunity to attend CTE courses during their Junior and Senior year.
This is just a quick reminder to everyone that there will be no students in attendance at school tomorrow (Monday 19 February 2024)due to an EUP-wide staff Professional Development day. Enjoy the opportunity to sleep in and have a happy President's Day.
Bo on the lookout! This is a reminder to all of our families that report cards will be coming home today (1/26/24).
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and the fine learners of our districts. Having just spoken to both teams at the county garages. DeTour Area Schools/DATA will be closed tomorrow, 1/10/2024.
