More details and permission slip to come! We will have some volunteer spots for each class, so just a reminder to get your volunteer clearance if you might be interested in joining us! Here is the link!
We are looking forward to meeting with families in a few weeks. Just a friendly reminder to sign up for a conference time with your child's teacher if you haven't already!
We are providing another exciting STEAM Camp after-school opportunity during minimum day/parent conference week (Tues Oct 7th, Wed Oct 8th, Thurs Oct 9th, Fri Oct 10th) from 12:55pm-3:00 pm. We hope this not only helps families with daycare since students get out at 12:55, but more importantly, it will give students a robust camp full of STEAM learning and fun! Additionally, all registration fees will go straight back into our DPS PTO to help fund our amazing Innovation and Art programs school-wide! Win-win!Â
 Check it out and fill out the interest form so we can plan the exciting week and get you a permission slip!
