Choosing My Success Information Nights at Schools
DDSB secondary schools will also be hosting a Choosing My Success information night for current Grade 8 students transitioning to their local high school in September 2024. This is a fabulous opportunity for you and your child to visit the school and become familiar with the opportunities that are available to them as they transition into high school in September.
We invite you to tour the school and see what types of opportunities, programs, and extracurricular activities your home school has to offer.
All Information Nights will be held in-person (unless otherwise specified) on the specific date and time below at your designated high school. If you are unsure about your designated home school for Grade 9, please visit our website and use the school locator tool or speak with the office staff at your current elementary school.
