The Dragon's Den

Cold and wet weather is here. Between splashing in puddles and playing in the upcoming snow, recess can get a little messy. To help keep our students warm, dry, and ready to learn after recess, please pack a set of extra clothes especially clean socks and pants in your child’s backpack. Even the older kids need them.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone comfortable and ready to learn all season long!

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans for your service and sacrifice. We also wish to acknowledge and thank the veterans, the 5th grade students and teachers, Mrs. Ruth Northrup, and the Cub Scout Troops for their dedication, participation, and incredible performance at the event. Your showing up truly made it a meaningful occasion.

We have many new options, the store is open year round, and Dalton Elementary gets a small percentage back!

We have had to postpone the book fair, please disregard any previous communication about it. Thank you for understanding.

Head lice are friendly little hitchhikers! They spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact. They don’t jump or fly, but they do love a good opportunity to crawl from one scalp to another! With holiday gatherings and sleepovers in full swing, now is a great time to check your children for head lice. A quick head check can help prevent an unwanted holiday surprise!

If you have questions or need more information, please reach out to your school nurse.

Let’s keep the holidays merry, bright, and lice-free! 😄
