Principal's Message
Welcome to Donnan School!
Welcome back Dragons to another great school year! As your new Principal, I am so excited to build relationships with all members of our school community and support students and families.
At Donnan School, we are proud to be a community K - 6 school as well as the Division Site for the Sports Alternative Program (Hockey, Sport Fit, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Elite Athletes). We believe in working together with students and families to provide a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging. We believe in providing dynamic and flexible learning environments that support and celebrate all learners both inside and outside of the classroom.
We are committed to focusing on character development and citizenship in a variety of learning environments. We work collectively in these areas by engaging our students and their families; celebrating positive behaviour and using teachable moments to build our school community. It is our belief that this approach encourages students to make positive choices that align with our character virtues.
Donnan Character Virtues:
D - Demonstrate Kindness
R - Respect Themselves & Others
A - Are Active In Mind & Body
G - Give Back To Their Community
O- Own Their Decisions
N - Never Give Up
S - Succeed Together
Throughout the school year, parents can keep in touch with the school through your child’s daily agenda, SchoolZone or by contacting the school directly. We invite you to join us and participate in school celebrations, School Council meetings, activities/field trips as well as our special event days.
Together, we look forward to supporting all students’ passions, both inside and outside of the classroom, and to celebrating each student’s individual and unique talents, interests and skills!
Yours in learning,
Cathy Burrows
Principal
