Parent Resource Centre

One of the mandates of the Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee (DCPIC) is to provide activities which help parents and guardians support their children's learning both at home and school. We are pleased to provide parents and guardians access to the Parent Resource Centre.

What is the Parent Resource Centre?

The Parent Resource Centre is available to all parents and guardians in the Durham Catholic District School Board. One of DCPIC's goals is to inform parents of resources available to them by our publicly-funded Catholic education system. The Centre provides parents with tools and resources that enable them to support student achievement and well-being.

Our committee would like to acknowledge and thank the Durham Catholic District School Board for their support of this project. It is through this positive partnership that we were able to translate an idea into a reality. Studies show that 'good schools become even better when parents are involved', and we are well on our way with the addition of this centre!
