Message from Nicole Pease, Principal Teacher at DCS

Happy Friday DCS families, it has been a whirlwind of a week! Staff met to talk about our student assessments and how we will work to meet all students' needs. You will be receiving more detailed information about your child's performance at Conferences in early November. We had a wonderful time on Wednesday celebrating Mr. Russell Day! Russell is the custodian at DCS and is an essential member of the DCS Team. Taking time to show him how much he is appreciated was a special thing. Students created a banner with lots of sweet messages, which you will be able to read at next week's Open House. Cornucopia was here Thursday to continue to harvest the goods from the garden! We also had the joy of tagging and releasing our first monarch butterfly. We have some other caterpillars slowly growing which we will release when they are ready. It is a treat to experience this natural process. Mrs. Quinn's classroom now includes four young painted turtles thanks to the Harris Center. It will be such fun to watch them grow and change over the next few months. Students loved having Mrs. Parker here with Health/Wellness (PE)! We began our Friday with Walk to School Day. It is so fun to reminisce about my own days of walking to school from the Bahai House next to the General Store. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and that we will see you next Wednesday at the Harvest Supper Open House, starting at 5:30pm. Please remember to park at Yankee and take the bus or walk down the hill. Have a wonderful weekend, Nicole

The Importance of Attendance

We know how important attendance is to student success at school. There are District Policies and procedures that guide responsibility with regard to attendance. As part of this, I monitor absences and last year DCS had a large number of students with more than average absences. Many of the absences are due to illness over which there is little control. Please consider taking family vacations when school is not in session. Thank you for your help with reducing the high number of absences at DCS.

DCS Cares about Recycling!

Did you know that DCS has been recycling clean plastic bags since 2022? Even more exciting is that we have recycled 683 pounds of plastic since this program started! That is about the same as a zebra, motorcycle, or baby grand piano weighs! That is amazing! Thanks so much to Mrs. Hopkins for bringing this program to DCS! Please bring clean plastic grocery bags, bread bags, or pellet bags to school.

DCS also collects aluminum tabs to be donated to Shriners Hospital which designs and creates prosthetics. Please bring your aluminum tabs to DCS, there is a collection container in the lobby.
