Because of our recent outbreak of illness and the extremely high number of absences, we have decided to recommend (not require) indoor mask wearing at DCE. Masks are available to any student who asks for one.
We reviewed all of our students' permanent school files and discovered that several students were missing required documents. If your child is missing something from their permanent file, they took home a bright yellow paper today. Please ask them if they have a note for you and please bring in requested documents before the Winter Break. Thank you!
We are experiencing an uptick in student illness. Our custodians are deep cleaning and teachers are encouraging hand sanitizing. If your child is experiencing flu like symptoms or has a fever, please keep them home to help us stop the spread. Thank you!
We are starting our food drive from 11/7-11/16! Student Leadership is holding a contest for the grade level that receives the most donated non-perishable food items. Please bring in any items that you may have or would like to purchase to help those in need. The grade level that has the most donated items will get to choose a special treat! The treat will be pizza, ice cream sundaes, or hot chocolate and cookies. Good luck to all grade levels and let's help our community!
