DCE Parents and Guardians,
In order to stay current with PED's and BCS's safety guidelines we are setting a deadline of Friday, September 11th to make any changes to your child's learning model (Hybrid vs. Remote). This deadline will allow us to fully comply with the guidance set forth by the state. We know it is a difficult time and the safety of our children is number one on our list of importance. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
DCE families, just a reminder that COVID tends to spike during holidays. Please remember to wash your hands, wear masks appropriately, and limit gatherings.
