Happy Presidents' Day LMDES Families!

Originally established to honor George Washington's birthday on February 22, Presidents' Day has evolved to also celebrate the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and other U.S. presidents. Presidents' Day is viewed as a time to reflect on the achievements and legacies of past presidents and to celebrate the office of the presidency itself.

Enjoy the holiday, and thank you for being a part of our Dent learning community!

Kindly,

Mrs. Lindsay G. Brenfleck, Principal

Mr. Joseph D. Farrell, Assistant Principal

Lettie Marshall Dent Elementary is a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) School.

We encourage you to ask your child about "Dolphin Dollars" and our LMDES Schoolwide Expectations!

Please take a few moments to view the video below and review the Student Rules for Transportation with your student(s). Student safety on the bus is the shared responsibility of students, parents, bus drivers, and the school.

Regularly reviewing bus expectations with your student will help ensure a safe ride to and from school each day. Riding the bus is a privilege; it takes all of us to safely transport our students each day. Thank you for your support!
