Annual demographic verification is required. If you have not done so already, please log in to your SchoolEngage account and verify your student’s information, regardless of whether there have been any adjustments. Technical support/instructions are available here.

Morning Student Drop Off

There are two locations for student drop off. If you enter from 4th St (south entrance to the student parking lot), please drop off your student at the front of the school and exit via the north entrance close to McDonald’s (right turns only out of the parking lot).

If you enter from the north entrance (closest to McDonald’s) of 4th St, please head east through the parking lot and drop off your student by the 2 large orange candlestick pylons. Continue east and exit via the north exit towards the Superstore.

If you enter from the north entrance, please head west through the parking lot and drop off your student by the 2 large orange candlestick pylons. Continue West and exit via the north entrance close to McDonald’s (right turns only out of the parking lot).

After School Student Pick Up

Please do not park in staff parking. Some parents may arrange and meet their students for a quick drive-by pickup at the front of the school. Stopping and waiting for your student in front of the school should not be permitted. Alternatively, please wait for your student at the Superstore parking lot where there is much more space and more points of exit.

Sports Update

Team and Club Event information

All members of clubs and teams should have received a paper copy of their practice and game schedules. All teams have access to Team Snap as the communication tool between coaches and players. Coaches may also include games with locations and practice schedules through Team Snap. Please also remind your athlete or club member to not add any personal information such as phone numbers to their Team Snap profile. Parents will not have access to Team Snap. If you need information regarding practice or schedules, please work with your child to know when events are happening.

Home Game Viewing

Individual schools determine the audience for Home Games. At Diefenbaker, we have decided that only current Diefenbaker students, current Diefenbaker families and visiting school students and player families are welcome to view Home Games at Diefenbaker. All students from Diefenbaker or the visiting school must provide valid school ID to enter games. At this time, Alumni or those with no school ID will not be allowed to view home games.
