As our student enrollment continues to grow, safety remains our top priority. Due to the constraints of our school's parking facilities and limited space, hosting large events has presented significant safety challenges during our first 2 years. To ensure the safety and well-being of all families, we have made the decision to extend this event over three days. This adjustment is solely a safety measure, allowing us to better manage attendance and create a safer environment for everyone.

Each year DPS Arts has an amazing event called Evening to Shine! This arts event combines elementary, middle, and high school students from across the district in an energetic choral and dance performance at the DPAC! The event will take place on Tuesday, Feb 11th. If you are interested in your student auditioning for this event, please click below for details.

We continue to encourage families to bring in pre-packaged snacks for their child's class. Please note that any snack that is NOT pre-packaged will not be shared. While we do not celebrate birthdays during the school day, acknowledging students during snack time in a simple, meaningful way can ensure everyone feels included. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this expectation.

I want to acknowledge that teachers here work BEYOND the “40 Hour” work week, spending time after 2:45PM daily, in the evenings, and on weekends. I respectfully ask that we continue to show as much LOVE to them as things begin to pick up.

You can download this application from the Google Play and Apple Store. Teachers will share more information about accessing their class during the first couple weeks of school.

You DO NOT need to download the application to receive messages from the teacher or school. Messages will come in an SMS (Short Message Service) Text automatically--and to every family that has a phone registered or updated in PowerSchools. The application tends to work better for pictures and other application features.

IMPORTANT: This application is designed for informal Parent/Teacher communication. Please email or call your child's teacher to communicate formal requests.
