Exclusion Day is February 21st. This means that we need to have ALL required immunizations records up to date or students will be excluded from school.

Please take a couple of minutes to provide your input regarding student use of cell phones in schools. This is a survey being shared district-wide.

Here is this week's Wednesday Weekly Contribution from the PTO.

February PTO Meeting

Join us next Wednesday, February 12th at 6:30pm in the DCD Library for our monthly PTO meeting. We'll be discussing all of our upcoming initiatives for the second half of the year, as well as volunteer needs, and more. Principal Barker will be there to answer any school-related questions. And childcare will be available on-site, provided by SBHS students.

Rip City Popcorn Fundraiser

Your student should have received their fundraising packet for Rip City Popcorn earlier this week. This will be our second large fundraiser for the school year, ensuring that we can continue to fund the supplemental programs and activities that are not otherwise funded by the district - like field trips, JA BizTown, Holiday Craft Night, and more! If your student did not receive a fundraising packet, there are extras available in the school office. Please reach out to dcdk8pto@gmail.com with any questions!
