March Diamond Edge Newsletter

We are excited to share that the March edition of the Diamond Edge Newsletter is now available! This month, we highlight the launch of the “D76 Market,” a new food market supporting our school community with access to nutritious food. We also bid a heartfelt farewell to Firefighter Tony, who has dedicated countless years to educating our students on fire safety with passion and care.

This edition also recaps our recent student-led parent-teacher conferences, where students took pride in showcasing their learning through portfolios and presentations. D76 is always seeking ways to enhance its food service program for students, and we’re excited to announce the introduction of a new hot breakfast option! You’ll also find helpful resources for families, including a guide on generative AI, and learn how our PBIS teams are boosting positive behavior with fun incentives like raffle tickets and rewards.
