Durham Catholic District School Board students return September 8, with class placements, transportation information and the 2026–27 school calendar available online.
Information for families
Tentative class placements and secondary timetables are available through Edsby. Durham Student Transportation Services has posted route information through its family portal, and DCDSB has linked absence-reporting options and family support contacts.
School-day reminders
The board also restated provincial mobile-device rules. Kindergarten to Grade 8 students are expected to keep devices out of sight for the full school day unless an educator permits use for an educational, health or special-education need. Secondary students must keep devices off or silent during instructional time under the same exceptions.
