Letter from the Principal

Dear Explorer Families,

Thank you for taking time to connect during conferences! We look forward to continuing conferences next week. A quick reminder: Tuesday, November 26, is a half day, with early dismissal at 12:15 p.m. and also our college Spirit Day! Thanksgiving Break begins on Wednesday, November 27 and will continue through Elementary Grading Day on Monday, December 2. We hope your child was able to visit the PTA bookfair or our library to check out the perfect book for the extended break from school.

Being a DEE Explorer means so much more than attending school at Donald Eismann. It is all about family, partnership and learning to grow and learn together. Our families make DEE the best place to be. Thank you for spending time with us this week learning about how we can work together to best support learning in our community.

Go Explorers!

Highly Capable Referral Window Opens November 12th

Does your child perform at significantly advanced academic levels compared to others? Consider referring them for the district's Highly Capable Program. SBLSD’s Highly Capable Program provides services, curriculum and activities that extend learning beyond the curriculum provided in schools and is designed so that all students of outstanding levels of aptitude may develop their abilities.

The referral period for our Highly Capable Program opens on Nov. 12 and will remain open until Dec. 12. Students can be referred by a staff member, a parent/guardian, or a community member. Referral links will open Nov. 12 and can be found on the SBLSD website here.

Please note: Second and fifth grade students will participate in a Highly Capable Universal Screener in the fall, and therefore do not need to be referred to be considered for services.
