Every year, the TDSB requires the school council and/or parent representatives of every school to complete a School Statement of Needs (SSON).

This document is meant to outline the parent/community priorities for the school, which the superintendent will use to identify a principal, in the case that  one needs to be appointed.

It is an annual record of the main priorities of the parent community and the school board for that specific school.

Dovercourt SAC has prepared a draft SSON for 2024/2025, building on previously identified priorities established for our school. You can see the draft SSON here, or download it below.

If you have any concerns or suggestions, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected] no later than Wednesday, January 8th, 2024.

We will be voting on whether to approve the SSON at our January SAC meeting, taking place January 9th at 6:00pm at the school.

This school year, our school community has faced significant challenges: a 20% reduction in our operating budget for supplies and a 20% increase in student enrollment as more families join our vibrant community.

To help bridge this gap, and to align withthe School Improvement Plan, the Dovercourt School Advisory Council (SAC) has invited our teachers to create a wishlist of STEM and art kits. These carefully selected materials, including magnetic tiles, art supplies, and other engaging tools, are designed to enrich learning by fostering creativity and critical thinking.

Since these resources are beyond what our current budget allows, we are inviting you to directly support our students by purchasing items from this wishlist. Your contribution will provide students with engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
​
If you prefer to purchase an item from a vendor other than Amazon, please email Sarah Weaver at [email protected] to ensure the item is marked as purchased.

On behalf of the Dovercourt SAC, thank you for your generosity and dedication to our school community.
