Below is a link the 2024-2025 DPS Parent/Student Handbook. This will serve as an excellent resource to you throughout the school year.

Arrival

All 4PK-2nd grade students will enter at the main entrance of school and must be to school by 8:00.

• Students can be dropped off anytime from 7:40-8:00.
• Breakfast will be served from 7:40-8:10.
• Buses unload students at 7:40.

All 3PK students will enter at the side door at 9:00 for the AM program or 12:30 for the PM program.

Dismissal

Dismissal changes must be made before 1:00pm. Parent pick-up will begin at 2:15pm each day at the following doors based on last name. Please make sure we have the name of the person picking up and that person has a driver's license for identification.

• A-C at the ELC doorway on the parking lot side
  
• D-H at the back playground door
  
• I-Q at the first door on the left in the driveway between the HS & PS
  
• R-Z at the second door on the left in the driveway between the HS & PS

All 3PK AM and PM students will exit at the side door at 11:30 for the AM program and 3:00 for the PM program. Our 3PK students are dropped off and picked up in the small Primary Bus Loop during the following times: 8:45-9:00, 11:20-11:35, 12:20-12:30, and 2:50-3:05. Please consider parking in a different location so that you aren't trapped in the loop.

If your child arrives at school after 8:00am, he/she is considered tardy. Please walk your child into the school main entrance to complete an excuse. Then staff will give your child a tardy pass and he/she can walk to class independently. Please note this is a change in practice in order to ensure student safety in the parking lot and to keep accurate attendance records.

Please note that this year our 4PK students have a different menu than our K-2nd grade students.

This year students will be able to PURCHASE the following additional treats at lunch time -

Ice Cream - $1.75

Cookies - $1.25

Fruit Snacks - $0.75
