Please stay warm and safe!



Good evening! Due to the ongoing inclement weather and the forecast for additional snow, we will be having an e-Learning day tomorrow, February 19. Stay safe and warm. We hope to see everyone back at school on Thursday.

Unfortunately, we will be e-learning today. The roads are snow packed already and our bus company does not have enough drivers to transport kids. We apologize for the delay in notifying you.

Here are some apps parents should be aware of!

After much deliberation, we will be e-learning at home tomorrow with the predicted inclement weather heading our way potentially creating hazardous travel conditions. Thank you for your understanding!

Have a wonderful weekend!

DEES students in Mrs. Holtzman's class explored clay hand-building techniques while creating their very own winter coil trees! 🌲✨ After shaping their trees, the students glazed them with bright, festive colors to bring their masterpieces to life. Great job, awesome artists! 🎨👏
