  • Follow the queue to the top of the car line and move with the cars ahead of you. 
  • Refrain from using your cell phones in the car line. Your awareness helps to keep our students and staff safe. 
  • Proceed through our crosswalks slowly and with caution.
  • Put a placard in the right side of your dashboard identifying your student's name, grade, and class.

NEW! A note from Ms. Trena:

Bond Mill Levy Override News! 

This past Tuesday the Board of Education voted unanimously to place a $60M Mill Levy Override and $450M Bond on the November 2022 ballot. If passed by voters, an MLO would enable DCSD to provide pay that is more competitive with other school districts to retain teachers and staff. Should an MLO pass, DCSD teachers, on average, would receive a 9% pay increase, as reflected in these salary schedules. Classified staff members, such as bus drivers, educational assistants, custodians, etc., would receive a 9% increase. Other staff, including school principals and administrators, would receive a 6% pay increase.  A $450 million Bond would help DCSD construct three new neighborhood elementary schools and create additions to two existing middle schools to reduce crowding and plan for growth.


NEW! News from our Parent Crew:
