School Messenger Information
DGH community, a reminder of the TLDSB Messenger App that our board has been using this year (a slightly different version of the app used in previous years). Click on the link below to access a pdf version of the pamphlet which explains how to opt into the app. DGH tends to send out School Messenger information via e-mail (as opposed to text messages or phone calls); however, critical information WOULD be sent out via text messages and phone calls (e.g., an emergency school closure or serious issue at the school). General school information continues to be sent out regularly to our website and Facebook, along with Twitter (and Instagram).
I would encourage all those who are able to sign up for School Messenger as it is a useful communication tool. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office at 705-786-1915.
