We are excited to announce that our school has partnered with Aramark as our new food service provider. Aramark brings a variety of nutritious and delicious meal options to our students. Please note that unlike previous years, some of the menu items will now include pork. To ensure everyone is informed, all items containing pork will be clearly labeled in the meal descriptions. We encourage you to review these descriptions and discuss meal choices with your child. Thank you for your continued support!

This year as part of the annual update for students, parents were given the ability to opt in to receive an email receipt when students check out books from the media center. There has been some confusion with these emails, as they originally had a header that read Lost or Damaged Book Receipt. We believe that this header has been changed to read Today's Book Checkouts. We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused and most likely your student does not have lost or damaged books at this point. The new email should include the books students check out and their due dates and will have the Subject Today's Book Checkouts. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, or wish to opt in, but didn't, please email Mrs. Davies at davies_jamie@dublinschools.net. Thank you!

Families can now find direct links to Enrichment Activities and Visual & Performing Arts Activities available in our community and beyond on the Enrichment Opportunities page on the DCS website.

At Depp, we foster the Trailblazer Traits of Bravery, Caring, Ownership and Growth. Our grade level town halls will begin in September and we will focus on exploring what it means to show these traits both within and outside of our school community. We are kicking off the year with Bravery. We believe that Brave Trailblazers take risks, try new things and are willing to be a leader.

As we move through our exploration of Bravery, parents can extend this learning at home by:

• Modeling bravery. Children learn more from what you do than what you say. Take on new challenges and show your child what it means to be brave.

• Acknowledging your child. Let your child know that you see them as brave and that it's okay to feel unsure. You can say something like, "You can do it; I know how brave you are".

• Accepting fear. Help your child identify their fears and accept that it's natural to feel them.

• Encouraging positive self-talk. Teach your child to talk positively to themselves.

• Giving your child permission to fail. Let your child know that it's okay to try something and fail, and that they can learn from their mistakes.

• Trying new things together like eating adventurous foods, exploring a new place, or playing a new game.
