Educating every child for confidence today and contribution tomorrow.
A Message From the Principal
DHES Families,
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the DHES School BBQ on June 14th during your student’s lunch time. Come enjoy the sunshine (I hope) and the yummy food with your kids. We will provide times and details in the coming weeks.
Our 4th and 5th graders have been doing a great job on their state tests these last weeks. They will be finishing up next week. Thanks for having your children well rested, well fed, and here on time each day.
The PTA Spring Carnival is coming up Friday, June 2nd. It will be held at NTMS this year from 5:30-8:00 pm. I hope you will be able to come enjoy the festivities as a family.
Let’s all focus on finishing the year strong!

📷 Attention Parents of 5th Graders📷
👉If you haven’t already, please send me two digital pictures of your child. We currently have 63% of the 5th graders with photos sent in. I have tried to respond if you have sent in your photos. If you did not receive a response, please try resending them.
📷Please send me two digital pictures of your child. One from when they were younger and one from this year. They don’t have to be school pictures.The candid ones actually make for a more interesting slideshow, as long as they are school appropriate. Please include your child’s name.
Optional: One or two group pictures you may have that feature multiple 5th graders are also welcome. Any pictures from field trips, birthday parties, sporting events, etc. Please include children’s names.
Please send me your child’s photos as soon as possible so they can be included in the slideshow. You can email me or send them to me via Remind.
Thank you so much!
