Dear DES Family,
We are approaching the end of the quarter next week before our Spring Break. Please take this time to contact your child’s teachers should you have any behavioral or academic concerns. The end of the school year comes quickly with the last quarter of school, so this is
prime time to get connected.
We have several important dates on the calendar. I would like to highlight the Penny Carnival which PTO is planning for Thursday, Mar. 28. We appreciate the PTO and all the work they do to organize this second fund raiser event to support our school. Please reach out to
them to see how we can work together to make this another successful event.
