Last year D123 began using the Visitor Aware program to immediately identify visitors, along with when they arrived, and where they are going

In order to ensure a smooth visit to the school, please use THIS LINK to complete the pre-registration for Visitor Aware.

Once pre-registered, you will be prompted to take a picture of yourself and answer the questions, including DL#. Once you do this they will be in the system. You will receive their QR code via text and email. This QR code is what you will use when checking into the school for a visit.

If you have any questions, please contact the front office.

Our students are doing an amazing job with our building-wide behavior expectations. They learned our expected bear behavior in the various settings throughout their school day and are earning their Bear Bucks! I have included a poster template for you to use at home as well a PBIS at home guide for your reference.

Are you going to miss your kids while they are at school? We are in need of help supervising our students during lunch and recess. This is a perfect part time job for someone who just wants to work a few hours a day and enjoys spending time with kids during their favorite time of the day! Come and join our team! The hours are from 11:15-1:15 every school day. Click on the button below to fill out an application today!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Back to School PTA Events. The Ice Cream Social, D123 Extravaganza, and Thunderbolts. Your support and friendly faces are amazing.
