Deer Families
Deer Hill News • October 2, 2026
Today is our first early release of the year. After our 1:15 dismissal staff will be collaborating on curriculum planning with a focus on social studies for our classroom teachers. We hope that to have a wonderful (and less rainy) weekend!-- Alex
Deer Hill Need to Knows
Enter the Chat with Us! I hope to see you at our panel discussion on Tuesday with Dr. Meredith Elkins. I loved being a part of this summer book club and am looking forward to continuing the threads of conversation that we began and including more voices. Even if you haven't read the book (yet!), this is a worthwhile event for all parents and caregivers, no matter the age of the children in your lives!
