5th Grade Parent Volunteers Needed! There’s many special events planned for our 5th graders and a lot of help needed. Please reach out to dwsclassof25@gmail.com if you are able to help in any way.



Please join the DWS PTO on PTBoard, today! PTBoard is an online platform that we will be using to communicate school information, events and volunteer opportunities to families. As we move away from sending home paper flyers, this will be the only way to stay up-to-date on school events and place orders for school spiritwear, etc. Accounts are free to set up and in no way commit you to volunteering for the PTO. Please reach out with questions at yourdwspto@gmail.com.

Download the App “PTBoard Mobile” in the App Store today!
