Dear Parents,
We hope this message finds you engaged, connected, and well again this week. We are excited to hear how much everyone is enjoying our all-school book, A Boy Called Bat. The chapters for the next week are . . .
Wed., April 29 - Chapter 16
Thurs., April 30 - Chapter 17
Fri., May 1 - Chapter 18
Mon., May 4 - Chapter 19
Tues., May 5 - Chapter 20
We will finish the book on Friday, May 8, and are making plans for our final week of student assignments for the week of May 11 - 15. This last week we are devoting our learning to a STEAM theme. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. The final packet is being designed for all K-4 students and will be available on Mon., May 4 and Tues., May 5 with curbside pick-up between 8 AM- 1 PM. The packet is designed for all students K-4, regardless of their grade so we can continue learning together with families. I will also email the packet of STEAM activities through TeacherEase communication and our website to all families. We hope this is helpful to those who are not able to pick the packet these days. We are excited about these fun family learning opportunities filled with creative, and fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. If you have completed work to return, we will have collections in the same location as the packets for finished work. Additional opportunities to return completed work will be provided the week of May 18 - 20.
Next week our newsletter will include information on plans for student materials and the start of the 2020-2021 school year. Speaking of the new school year, our online registration is open for returning students to register for the new school year. We are excited to offer this opportunity for our families. Select the Online Registration on your TeacherEase parent portal to complete the process and pay fees. Please reach out if we can help with the process.
Finally, we provide this special message to all our students! We miss you at DES!
With Papoose Pride,
Diana Rea, Principal
