Message from Kim Oliver, Principal
Dane Families,
The school year has come to a close, and we are thankful for the many successes that we had on our campus. To all of our families, thank you for choosing Denmark. It has been an honor to work with your students on a daily basis.
If you are a senior parent, we are especially grateful to you for sharing your sweet students with us - they were such a beautiful addition to our campus. We are wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness.
If you are a rising freshman parent. Welcome! Each month, we send out a newsletter with highlights from the previous month and information about upcoming events. In this newsletter, you will find the information for Freshman Orientation.
It is our hope that all of your interactions on this campus remind you of why It is always a Great Day to Be a Dane!
I hope that all of you enjoy your summer and find some time to relax and unwind with family and friends.
It's a Great Day To Be a Dane!
Kim Oliver

An Important Note About Summer School and Schedules for Next Year
Important Notice: Summer Course Completion and Fall Course Placement
Reminder: Successful completion of a summer course does not guarantee automatic placement in the next level course for the upcoming fall semester.
Several factors contribute to the placement process, including course availability, prerequisites, and overall academic performance.
We recommend considering alternative options or backup plans in case your desired course placement is not available. This might include exploring elective options.
