Three Weeks of Giving at MT Davidson 

Hello Osprey Families, 

Here at MT Davidson, we are going to celebrate the holidays by making donations to three organizations in the North Bay/Callander area that are in need of extra items over the holidays, as part of our Three Weeks of Giving.  Please send the items with your child to school.  We have protocols in place to receive these extra items at the school and safely pass them along to the various organizations.  If you are unable to send them with your child, please call the school before dropping them off and we can meet you at the front door to receive them.

Bullying Prevention and Awareness Week Nov 16-19

The entire Near North District School Board is committed to creating safe learning spaces for your child.  Throughout the 2020-2021 school year, MT Davidson, as well as all schools, will be participating in activities that focus on creating safer schools through Citizenship and Community; Conflict Resolution; and Bullying Awareness.  Each of these three domains contain additional subtopics that support and reinforce the main idea. Character education, for example, is a key component to creating future citizens, while understanding Cyber Safety will help prevent incidents of bullying by keeping students safe online.  These three domains work together to create safe and accepting schools, which is part of our Well-Being Strategy.
