Come hype up our JV Dragons on Monday, October 2nd!
Cheer on the junior high Lady Dragons as they play the Meridian Mustangs on Monday evening!
FRI, OCT 20TH: K-6 students are asked to bring a pumpkin large enough to decorate by this date (but no larger than 12" tall), or more if you have extras for others. These will be judged by scariest, funniest & most original. If you have extra supplies or specific ideas, we will take those too!
OCT 31ST: K-6 students are going to "trunk or treat" the secondary students at the end of the day, with the secondary students judging their costumes as well...which are also going to have prizes awarded for scariest, funniest, and most original...just like the pumpkins! Please don't send your child in his/her costume to school!
All students should have brought home a letter to be returned about this information, but just in case, here is a copy of the letter: https://bit.ly/DPSOCTOBER.

We recently introduced Handwriting Without Tears to the preschoolers, focusing on Mat Man. Mat Man is a Pre-K classroom character that embodies Learning Without Tears by using a unique approach to drawing with multisensory activities and strategies that help young learners develop strong drawing and cognitive skills. Handwriting Without Tears is a developmentally based program designed to progress a child's fine motor skills along with visual skills through fun and interactive activities.
