All School Sing

Our next All School Sing is this Friday!

Friday, September 21st

7:45 - 8:30

Central Campus Auditorium

Our Breakfast program begins cleaning up at 7:45 AM. If your child is dropped off after 7:45, please know that they will not be able to eat a breakfast provided by the school.

I always have granola bars in my office if your family gets into an unexpected circumstance. I will do everything in my power to get something in their stomach to last until lunch.

Imagine the Amazing

Imagine the Amazing with UnityPoint Health. Education is an essential part of living well and being well, and schools are at the heart of our communities. That's why we're launching a back-to-school contest to bring big dreams to life.

The winning school will win $25,000 to enhance the well-being of students, teachers and/or learning environments. Ten runner-up schools will win $1,000 to invest in a health and wellness need at their school. Every school has a need and every kid has a dream. UnityPoint Health is committed to investing in both to create a brighter tomorrow.

Conference Sign Up

Once again, we will be utilizing PTCfast.com for you to sign up for our Conferences on October 10th and 11th.

Parents with siblings will receive the link to sign up on Wednesday, September 26th.

All families will receive the link again on Thursday, September 27th.

Student Reflectors

As part of our district-wide safety initiative for the 2018-2019 school year, all elementary students will receive a safety reflector. The safety reflector should be worn by students in an area that will be clearly visible to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they travel to school during the early morning hours.

You should see them coming home with your students in these next few days.

PTA Membership and Dues

If you're interested in joining the PTA, the PTA dues are $10/family, and student activity fee ($15/student) support learning and enrichment activities throughout the year. These funds spare DTS families the typical school fundraising efforts like magazine, wrapping paper and cookie dough sales!
