DCES News

We are so excited to welcome everyone back for another school year! Our Back to School Night is Thursday, August 7th from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. It will be an Open House style. School starts August 11th. The first bell rings at 8:55am sharp! We can’t wait to see our hallways filled with our amazing students again! 

If students are not eating breakfast at school, they can be dropped off no sooner than 8:40 am. There will not be any adult supervision on the playground until that time.

Students will enter one of the side gates and go to the back of the school where the playground is located. Parents are encouraged to say their goodbyes outside at the gate. Students line up at the outside classroom doors. The kindergarten playground is located at the front of the school. Students and parents are not allowed in school hallway before school begins. Please see the map below for drop off and pick up instructions.
