ATF dogs visited DWS to demonstrate how they work with their amazing officers. Of course they took the chance to show off their skills! There was even time for a quick pat for each pup! I’m not sure who was happier- the students or the dogs!

Thank you to Officer Griffin for coordinating this visit!

Last week, Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Bergamesca started their book club for fourth graders during lunch. This group of 21 students will be meeting for the next six weeks to read and discuss "Pocket Bear" by Katherine Applegate!

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!
