Nut Free & Scent Free
We are a nut free and scent free school. Please do not bring nut products (peanuts, tree nuts, etc) into our school or wear products with scents. There are students and staff at CDS who are SEVERELY ALLERGIC.

COVID-19 Checklist
The COVID-19 checklist that all students and staff are asked to follow was just updated February 2022 to include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting symptoms (see the link below).
Please use this checklist daily to screen your child(ren) for symptoms before they come to school each day. We must work together to stay safe. Thank you for your cooperation.
