Students in Mr. Malone’s class and Mrs. Malone’s class read the awesome book called “One Word for Kids.” Then we each chose one little word that we each could focus on for the next year to help us be our best each day! Let’s hear it for a great year ahead in 2025!

3PK students in Mrs. Sick's class bundled up and enjoyed time outside in the snow today!

Congrats to the first and second grade golden spatula winners below -

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
