Greetings Dragon Families!

This past week, our school community truly shined! We rallied together to show love and support for our former Kindergarten teacher, Jennifer Hudson. A massive thank you to our families and staff—your generous and heartwarming outpouring of support this week made a real difference. We are so proud to be part of such a caring community.

Building the Bridge Together,

Volunteers: Classrooms will have several opportunities throughout the year to welcome families to see all the wonderful learning occurring. To minimize classroom disruptions, volunteers assisting teachers with tasks like copying and laminating will continue to pick up materials in the office rather than going directly to classrooms.

Thank you for your interest in helping our Classroom Teachers--your help is invaluable to them! Please see the sign-up genius link to volunteer in our school!

This year we will begin using a Google Form for daily transportation changes. This form will take the place of an email (our prior method). In the event that your child/ren will not go home their normal way, please complete the Google Form below to let us know of the transportation change. This form needs to be completed before 1:00 pm on the day of the change.

Need a Magnet with our Vision?

To help families engage in common language with our students using the DBES Vision, we have created magnets for families to put on their refrigerators. This magnet can serve as a reminder to our students on how to be on FIRE! If you need a magnet, feel free to stop by our front office anytime to pick one up.

On September 24th a special pop-up sale was held at DBES in support of our cherished Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Jennifer Hudson who recently lost her courageous battle with leukemia. FCMS also held an Orange Out Game that evening where Mrs. Hudson was honored.

With deep gratitude, we thank our FCMS and DBES families and staff members. Together, the Forest Creek Athletic Boosters Club and DBES PTO raised a combined total of $2,637 to support Mrs. Hudson’s family during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity are true reflections of the love and support in our local school community.
