Health Professions Student Visit
DTEC welcomed high school health professions students from across the district for an exciting opportunity to explore career pathways in healthcare the first week of December. Students connected with current DTEC health professions students, toured our state-of-the-art facilities, and gained firsthand insights into the dynamic programs offered. From hands-on demonstrations to engaging conversations about the future of healthcare, participants left inspired and better prepared to plan their next steps. Thank you to all who made this event a success! We’re proud to foster curiosity and ambition in the next generation of healthcare professionals. 🚑💉 Stay tuned for more opportunities to explore DTEC’s programs!

Inclement Weather Procedures
The safety of our students is our top priority. If severe weather conditions make travel unsafe or prevent schools from operating safely, we may cancel school. Decisions are typically made by 5:30 a.m.
Key Considerations for Closures:
- Snow: Light or moderate snow usually won't close schools; heavy snow may.
- Cold: Frigid temperatures affecting walkers or bus operations could prompt closures.
- Ice: Dangerous icy conditions are the most common reason for closures.
Closure notifications will be sent via text, email, the District’s mobile app, websites, and social media. Parents can sign up for emergency texts by texting “Y” to 67587. For more details, visit the District’s Emergency webpage.
Stay safe and informed!
