Our Winter Workshop was a huge success! We are very grateful for all of the work that the Donnelly Elementary PTO put into the planning and preparation for this amazing event! As well, a big thank you to the parent volunteers, the Donnelly Fire Department, and Valley County Sheriff for ensuring that all activities were fun and safe.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for January 22nd (3:30-5:30). Teachers will contact parents / guardians directly to schedule a conference if they feel it is necessary to discuss a student's progress or address any concerns.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email your child's teacher.

Tamarack Resort is providing DES students with a promotional ski package scheduled on the Fridays in January, February, March, and April when school is not in session. If you have any questions, please contact Tamarack Winter Sports School at (208) 325-1025

Just a reminder that in order to leave the blacktop during recess, students will need 'All 5' (snow pants, snow boots, coat, hat, and gloves).

We also need to consider the possibility for a snow day or a 2-hour delayed start. If either event occurs, you will receive a phone call, text, and/or email. The district attempts to send out notifications no later than 6:30 am.

The January Word of the Month is 'respect.' Respect is showing others you care about who they are and what they believe... no matter how different they are from you.
