Happy February!
February 10 will be a conference day for grades K-5; Prek conferences will be February 10 and 11. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you would like to have a conference.
For Valentine's Day, students will be allowed to exchange cards. However, we are still unable to have food brought in from outside. Each grade level will communicate with you about when cards should be sent.
Please check out some of the upcoming events outlined below. We are trying to work on planning out the second half of the year so stay tuned as we figure out what we can do in person and what is not permissable. I thank you for your patience as we work through all these changes.
Thank you for your continued support of DES! Sending love and blessings to you and your family!

5th Grade Parent Nights
This year, DES is continuing to support parents and students with the transition to middle school by hosting a series of 5th Grade Parent Nights. On these nights, we will discuss transition in all forms: physical; mental; social media; and emotional (both parents and children!).
Our 5th Grade Parent Nights are tentatively scheduled monthly and for now will be held via Zoom beginning at 6:30 PM. I hope you will join us for all or any of these nights as the topics shared will be dictated by those who attend. Here are the dates planned but are subject to change:
• February 25: 6:30 PM
• March 25: 6:30 PM
• April 22: 6:30 PM
• May 27: 6:30 PM
• June 3: 6:30 PM
• June 16: 5th Grade Celebration (?)
I hope you will join us for one or all of these informative nights!
