Dear DES Families,
First we wish you all a Happy New Year filled with many successes. During winter break, I hope you had the chance to catch up with friends and family and enjoy some rest and relaxation. One of the things I appreciate most about our DES faculty and staff is that we are not silent about the things that matter and together we continue to provide a high quality service for children and families. We place great value on seeing our students continually grow as they move along their academic journey. We are excited to begin our work for the second semester of the school year to ensure that learning continues. As we ring in the new year, we see this as an opportunity to check in with students and families to ensure that our students are on-track, prepared and ready to finish the year with great successes.
Du Quoin Elementary continues to strive to become a school focused on educational environment and find unique and innovative ways to support and create opportunities that make our school a place where all children enjoy learning, develop strong relationships, and continue to grow each day socially, emotionally, and academically. During the month of January, our positive behavior character trait focus in on HONESTY. Our lessons will focus on always being truthful and fair, even though it’s not always the easiest of tasks. We invite you to get involved with your student in this incredibly valuable conversation. As always, thank you for your continued support and look forward to our continued partnership is this most
important of missions!
