The Architects of Fresh Starts

When the bell sounds on the last day of June, our schools empty out, and our custodial teams get right to work!

Over the summer, they take on the impressive job of resetting every building from top to bottom. They strip away months of wear and start fresh until the corridors shine. Ask any custodian and you’ll hear the same quiet pride in their work. There is an unmistakable thrill in watching the school transform for the new year.

Every scrubbed locker and polished hallway is their way of welcoming students back to a clean, bright, and safe space to learn.

Long before the first day of school, our custodians have already set the stage for a great year ahead.

Thank you to each and every custodian in DSB1 for your hard work over the past few months!

An excellent program to support the transition to school. It’s virtual.
