Here comes DTS, here comes DTS, Right down Clover Basin Drive. Joe and Steve and all their techs Pulling on the reins. Phone are ringing, students singing, All is merry and bright. So wake your laptops and say a prayer, 'Cause DTS comes tonight. Here comes DTS, here comes DTS, Right down Clover Basin Drive. Driving cars fill with tools For our techers and schools. Hear those keychains dingle dongle, What a beautiful sight. So clear your desks and find your device Because DTS comes tonight. Here comes DTS, here comes DTS, Right down Clover Basin Drive.

Here comes tech stuff, here comes tech stuff

down education lane.

Copiers, chromebooks, laptops, ipads​

easing all the pain.

Bells are ringing videos streaming

All is merry and bright.

So boot your laptop and say a prayer

cause Pearson's coming tonight.

​Here comes tech stuff, here comes tech stuff

down education lane.

We've got a bag that's filled with toys

teachers, girls and boys.

Hear those ipads beeping and buzzing

oh what a beautiful sound.

So go to the lab and give it a stab

Cause Pearson's come to town.

You know Stevie, and Patty, and Willy, and Darry, You know Maggie and Mary and Michelle, and Kristy But do you recall the most famous CTO of all?

Joey the red­nosed reindeer had a very shinny staff

And if you ever saw them you would even say they glow. All of the other managers used to laugh and call him names They wouldn’t let poor Joey join in any techie games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Donny came to say, Joey with your staff so bright won’t you guide our LTP.

Oh how the district loves him, And they shouted out with glee DTS’s Learning Tech Plan

will go down in history.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

With the kids constant yelling

And everyone telling you go have a beer

It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all

With those ltp greetings and excessively long meetings

When schools come to call

It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting

Documents for posting

And assessment testing galore

There'll be scary ipad stories

And tales of the glories of the

chalkboards long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be no mistltoeing

And parts will be flowing

When DTS is here

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be parties for hosting

Documents for posting

And assessment testing galore

There'll be scary ipad stories

And tales of the glories of the

chalkboards long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be no mistltoeing

And parts will be flowing

When DTS is here

It's the most wonderful time

Yes the most wonderful time

Oh the most wonderful time

Of the year

(Winter Wonderland)

The weather outside is frightful,

But the Vans are so delightful,

I’ve really got somewhere to go

Why is my phone so darn slow? Jennifer

(Rudolph)

Ceran the student home page mascot

Joined us five years ago

And when the students see him

They always know where to go. Kyle

(Jingle Bells)

Apple Chime, Apple Chime, Log in for the day

Oh what fun it is to browse on a 1 Gig ethernet port.

Ten Gig upgrade, ten gig upgrade Can’t wait for the day.

(White Christmas)

We’re dreaming of a great white list

With all of the sites we want to go Logan

(Rockin around the Christmas)

Rockin around the district town

It’s a happy time of year.

Getting it done with the ITCs

Now let’s go get a beer! All: “Beer Great Idea”
