Each month, our DTS students will discuss and learn about a character education trait.

September's character education trait was Responsibility.

A student from each PK-5 homeroom and Gr 6-8 content area was chosen because he/she demonstrated responsibility this month and a role model for others.

Congratulations to all of the recipients below!

In October, we will highlight students who demonstrate Respect!

Dear parents,

Each day has a designated theme where we will celebrate having respect for ourselves and others. All students and staff are encouraged to participate! Students will also participate in "Chalk It Up to Respect" during recess time.

Students will attend a respect assembly during the week.

School Violence Awareness Week is October 18th to October 22th.

and Red Ribbon Week is October 23rd to Oct 31th.

We will also be continuing our "ROARRRINGl" cards recognition program to catch students in the act of doing something right!

Elementary chorus rehearsals have begun! They are held for interested 4th and 5th graders on

Wednesday mornings at 8:10am until the 11th of December.
