Harlem Wizards

We had so much fun on Wednesday night as the Harlem Wizards came to DTS and put on a spectacular show! Several of our DTS faculty and staff took to the court and battled like fierce competitors in a fast-paced, equally skilled matchup!

A huge thank you to PiE for bringing the Wizards to DTS, and for all of you for showing up to watch! Your children acted like NBA all-stars as they warmed up on the court before the game. A special thanks goes to all of the faculty and staff who spent their evening at DTS,

either helping alongside parent volunteers throughout the night,

or playing alongside (and keeping up) with the professional athletes!

Everyone's getting a shirt!

Last chance to get a tshirt!!!

Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Please click here for a memo from Mr. Lipson about our arrival/dismissal procedures.

Arrival and dismissal at DTS is a busy time of day where many students, siblings, parents and cars are moving all around our building! To ensure a smooth and safe transition, please adhere to the following:

Parents can choose to use our carline drop off your child(ren), or park in our parking lot and walk the child(ren) to the front entrance.

Students who are late MUST be escorted into the building by a parent who can sign them in.

Bus Lane

Our front bus lane is for buses only. We will be closing access to the front of the building from 8:40-9:15 every day.

Carline

To ensure you are on time, we encourage families to arrive on our carline by 8:40am.
Cars are instructed to go all the way around the parking lot and stop at the starting point (see parking lot map).
We ask that students exit their cars on the passenger side and use our new sidewalks to walk to the building.
Staff members will direct the flow of traffic.

Families who wish to park and escort their children may do so, but please use our sidewalks.
Parked cars will not be permitted to leave our lot until the carline is clear (approximately 8:48).

DO NOT stop at the MS entrance to pick up your child, unless instructed to do so. Please keep the flow of the carline moving.

Tardy/Absence Reporting

Please notify the school when your child is going to be absent. Report his/her absence through the Genesis Parent Portal by following the steps below. You may report an absence ahead of time for vacations, appointments, etc. If your child is going to be tardy, we ask that you still complete the process below by choosing “absent.” We will update their attendance upon arrival.

Please note that this must be submitted no later than 9:30am on the day of the student’s absence.

Log in to the Genesis Parent Portal.
Select “Student Data.”
Select “Attendance.”
Select “Notify Office.”
A "Notify Attendance Office” screen will appear (see image below). Select “Absent” from the drop down menu.
Select the date your child will be absent.
If your child will be absent more than one day, please complete the “Up through and including” date.
Select student(s) name.
Attach document if applicable.
Provide reason (please list symptoms if student is ill).
Click “Submit to Office.”

We ask that you notify the school every day your child is absent. If a child is absent and no notification has been received, you will receive an automated call at 9:30am to ensure that your child is safe.

A doctor’s note is required upon return to school after an absence of three consecutive days.

Biking to School

Students in Grades 4-8 who live within two miles of the school may be granted permission to ride their bicycles to school. The attached permission slip must be completed and electronically signed by a parent/guardian. All bicycles must be secured and parked in the bike rack by the middle school entrance. Students must walk their bike on school property. The New Jersey Bicycle Helmet Law requires that all children under the age of 17 must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet when they ride a bicycle in New Jersey.

Roller blades and skateboards are not permitted on school property at any time, and are not to be brought into school under any circumstances.
