Before Christmas break, the morning preschool class visited the Senior Center and worked on puzzles with them. When doing puzzles they can help children to develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems. Puzzles can also help develop hand-eye coordination, develop finger and hand muscles, learn to reason and deal with frustration and learn to persevere and be patient.
We are excited to welcome staff back on Wed, Jan 2nd, and students on Thu, Jan 3rd!

Merry Christmas from DPS!
The 2023 Christmas concert was a hit, hearing the K-12 sing and the 5th-12th play, under the direction of Michelle Schardt and Jamie Calkins. The show choir performed a Christmas routine before Santa entered the house, and today, we head into the FINAL DAY of school for 2023!
On Monday over lunch, DPS graduates from 2023-24 spoke to this year's seniors about dorm life, playing collegiate sports, intramurals, Greek life, and most importantly, classes, and everything else to expect in your first year of college! We appreciate you coming back!
