Welcome to École Dorothy Lynas Elementary School

 

École Dorothy Lynas Elementary School is a vibrant learning community situated on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish people. We acknowledge the history of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation – People of the Inlet (twnation.ca) and the incredible 'teachings' our school is provided. In collaboration with home-school, we strive for alignment with the Strategic Plan 2021-2031 - North Vancouver School District (sd44.ca)​. ​ We offer English and French Immersion programs for students enrolled in Kindergarten to Grade 7. We are part of both the Seycove (English) and Windsor (French Immersion) Secondary School families of school. Please visit us!  To access our school, take the Mount Seymour Parkway turning north onto Mount Seymour Road, then right onto Ind. River Drive and right onto Inlet Crescent.

Our school team looks forward to connecting so please phone, email or visit with any questions you may have. ​​
