Dear Families,

Happy New Year!

Thank you for making December a holiday to remember for so many families!  Thanks to your generosity, DDES families received gifts and holiday meals.  Thank you for making this a special time for all our families!

December ended our grading period.  Report cards will come home to you on Tuesday, January 14th.  Please contact your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns about your child’s progress. Although our second set of parent conferences have been canceled to make up for our smoke days, teachers are always happy to talk with you about your child’s progress.

This month we will be running the WIDA Access test for students who are English Language Learners, and students in K-3 will be taking our reading MAP test.

Let’s get ready for a second semester full of learning!
