September has been a whirlwind of activity here at Central Campus!
Students have gotten used to their schedules and gotten down to learning.
The cafeteria is up and running and so are our intramurals at lunch time. Grade 8's and 9's are playing off to win points for their colour teams.
Our Terry Fox run was last Monday and our students were able to run the circuit set up for them by leadership students when the smokey skies cleared in the afternoon.
We are at the last week of September. Here is what is happening this week at DCSS:
- Truth and Reconciliation Week - this week students will be watching a video, attending a guest speaker, Stan Fraser from the Nawican and wearing their Orange Shirts for the 29th as we do a community walk in recognition of Truth and Reconciliation week.
- Students will be electing representatives in homeroom this week.
- Wednesday, September 27th is Photo Day.
- Sports - our volleyball teams were away playing in Grande Prairie this weekend.
Volleyball practices for grade 9 girls are Monday and Wednesdays from 3-4:30pm
Grade 8 girls practice on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00-4:30
Boys team practices on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-6pm
- Intramural sports play is ongoing At the moment the Green Gators are in the lead but that could change quickly...

- Students are welcome to bring their own lunch or they may leave the campus during lunch to purchase food elsewhere. They have 40 minutes between the end of their 2nd block and the beginning of the 3rd block. We expect them to be able to return in time to be in their classes by the second bell. If they are late on a regular basis, thereby missing instruction, we will be in touch with parents.
Central Campus Open House
On October 19th Central Campus will be holding an Open House. All parents and their students are welcome. It will be from 6:30 - 7:30. There will be a short assembly in the main gym followed by an opportunity to visit your students' classrooms and see what they have been learning.
