DES had a tornado drill and a lockdown drill today. Emergency management was involved in both drills. Our students were amazing during both drills. Thank you.
Today and everyday we want to thank our lovely custodians for keeping our school spotless. We are so grateful for these four ladies who work so hard everyday. You are amazing!!
Ahora y todos los días queremos agradecer a las que trabajan de conserje. Ellas trabajan duro todos los días para mantener nuestra escuela limpia. Muchas gracias por su trabajo y el gran esfuerzo que hacen. ¡Son las mejores!

Law enforcement has released students from the hold position on both the High School and Junior High Campus. The High School has been released from lunch. We have adjusted the schedule to allow everyone an opportunity to have lunch.
If you choose to check your students out and keep them at home today you are more than welcome to do so. This will not count against them in regards to absences for semester tests.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understand your concerns. Our number one responsibility is keeping your children safe at all times.
When law enforcement has completed their investigation DISD will make a media release and update everyone.

Today at 11:45 the Dalhart PD received notification from a tip reporting agency that a student brought a firearm to school today.
At the request of law enforcement we went into a holding pattern to make certain that our students were safe. At this time there is no creditable threat. At the request of law enforcement we will remain in a holding pattern to assure everyone’s safety. As soon as we are allowed to remove the students from a holding pattern we will do so. As soon as we have the authority to release more information we will do so.
