NEW SIGN IN PROCESS
We have two new self-check in (and out) kiosks in the lobby that were installed by the District. Please be sure to bring your ID in when you come to the school so you can check in using this nice new feature!
We will ask you to also sign yourself out when you leave to maintain security in the building. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we adjust to the new system.
***Please note we will use the old process for PTO Meetings to ensure timely check in for everyone.
VETERAN'S DAY ASSEMBLY
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a Veteran's Day Assembly on Monday, November 11th at 2:00 PM, and we would be honored to have our community join us for this special event.
After the assembly, we invite veterans and their families to a reception in the library, where light refreshments will be served. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect, reflect, and show our appreciation for the service and sacrifices made by our veterans.
In addition, we would love to highlight and honor family members who have served in the military by displaying their photos during the assembly. If you would like to participate, please send your submissions to Ann Foster at afoster3@dcsdk12.org. We strongly suggest that the pictures are in JPEG or PNG format along with the following information:
- Name of the service member
- Branch(es) of service (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force)
- Years of service (e.g., 1990-1995)
- Photo(s) of the service member
- Any special notes (e.g., Mechanic, served in Vietnam War, etc.)
Please send your submissions to Ann Foster at afoster3@dcsdk12.org by Tuesday, November 5th so we have enough time to prepare for the assembly.
We look forward to celebrating and honoring the veterans in our community and hope to see you there on November 11th!
