A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL PARENTS Thanks for a great start to the school year! Now that we have made it through the first week, please make sure you are dropping off all students at the main set of doors and not at the student’s classroom. If you need to speak with the teacher, please reach out via email, text or stopping by the office to schedule an appointment. Thank you.

The first day of school for all of our Drummond Island Elementary staff and students. It was a great start to the new year!

Tomorrow is the beginning of the school year! First and foremost, I would like to welcome everyone back and look forward to a great year!  As a reminder, tomorrow is our first day of school. It is a half day for everyone and ends at 11:30am. Again, school will be dismissed tomorrow at 11:30am. For Drummond Island parents: The parking lot has been expanded.  Please park only on the gravel and leave plenty of room for the bus to make the turn out of school.  For DeTour parents and students: Be advised the road heading into the school is now a one way with all traffic entering off St. Mary’s St and exiting on South Caribou Lake road. In addition, please be patient as we finalize the bond project work from this summer.  Everyone is working very hard to get everything completed. Your patience is greately appreciated Once again, we look forward to getting a great start to the new year.  Have a great rest of your evening. 

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.

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.

Drummond Island Elementary students learned all about the science of bubbles today from Bri the bubble lady. It really can be fun to learn.

It's a birthday party for Dr. Seuss at Drummond Island Elementary! Thank you to all the parents who came and read with their child. Everyone enjoyed the ice-cream Sundays and parent-teacher conferences after.

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.

March Is Reading Month!

Due to today's school cancellation, Drummond Island Elementary Student-Led Conferences will be held on Tuesday, March 5th. We would like to invite families to come in at 2:00 and celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday by reading with their student(s) and then having an ice cream sundae party. Immediately following, families can participate in our Student-Led Conferences. If this time does not work for your family, you can contact your child's teacher to make an alternate plan. This would be in place of the originally scheduled plan. Please feel free to share.
