Thank you!
Safety first, smiles second! Our drop-off and pickup teachers are ready to help your little students in and out of the cars with expert care.
Keep those lanes moving smoothly by staying in your vehicle- think of it as our very own drive-through service, but instead of Happy Meals, we're delivering happy kids!
Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and efficient process that works like a well-oiled machine. Together, we're making morning drop-offs and afternoon pickups a breeze!
DES parents - the new lanes on the East side of the building will be open Wednesday morning for drop off. Please refer to the attached map. DES staff will help with directing traffic flow each morning. You may still drop off on the North side of the school or you may walk your children across the street in front of the school. The front driveway is for buses and special situations only from 7:30 to 8 am. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we begin a new school year!
Thanks to the volunteers who prepared the DES Habitat this morning for the beginning of school! We appreciate your dedication and hard work!!
DES staff is ready for a great 2025-2026 school year!!
