Diamond Lake School

Dear Families, 

Thank you so much for participating in our E-Learning Day on Wednesday! It was great to see such high student engagement, and we loved connecting with students on Google Meets. We also appreciate everyone’s efforts in getting devices back to DLS in a timely manner.

Our Valentine’s Day classroom celebrations were a big success, and it was wonderful to see the students enjoying the activities. Thank you for your support in making these celebrations special for our children.

Looking ahead, please note that Monday, February 17th is a Non-Attendance Day due to President's Day. We hope you enjoy the long weekend!

In the week ahead, we have a Board of Education Meeting on Tuesday, February 18th. Also, don't miss our Second Grade Concert on Thursday, February 20th at 6:00 PM. All of our second graders have been working hard to prepare, and they are excited to share their performance with you!

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events!

Warmly, 

Mrs. Sunny Morley

Principal, Diamond Lake School

• Dress for the Weather: The cold weather has arrived! Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the outdoors. If you are in need of any cold weather supplies please reach out to Samira Calderon at scalderon@dist76.org. We will go outside on all days as long as the "feels like" temperature is 15 or more. 

• Emergency School Closures: Our primary concern is always the safety of our students and staff. There are several scenarios in which we might need to close one or more of our school buildings or start the day late. These include severe weather conditions, power outages, issues with heating, or water problems. Below is some more additional information about what will happen when there is an emergency school closure. 

  • Notification Process:
    In the event of severe weather or an unforeseen emergency, we will send an automated phone message and email alert to all families and employees informing them of the situation.  In order to receive these alerts, your phone numbers and email addresses must be up to date in our system. Contact your child’s school to make updates/changes.  We will also post a message on the D76 Homepage and all social media pages.  If schools are closed, all before and after school activities will be canceled.  The before and after school program, Innovative Learning, will also be closed.

  • E-Learning Day:
    In the event that we have an emergency closing, we will also announce if we will be having an E-Learning Day in our communications. We have updated the E-Learning procedures click here to review our updated procedures.

  • Technology Protocol for E-Learning Days
    In the event we have an E-Learning Day, students will follow our Emergency/Inclement Weather Technology Student Protocol.
