The Generals' Update
Your guide to DDE events & announcements: 2/28/2021
This Week's Schedule
Our school day remains to be a four hour day, 7:40-11:40am. This is just a reminder of the safety precautions we employ each day:
- All students are reminded to wear a mask from the time they enter the school bus and/or school grounds until the time they exit the bus and/or school grounds.
- Students will be required to use hand sanitizer prior to entering the building.
- Students will utilize a plexiglass barrier on their desks; the barriers will be sanitized each evening.
- We will continue to encourage social distancing whenever possible.
- All parents/guardians are reminded to complete the Covid Daily Parent Form each morning.
Safety Booster
If your child rides a bus, please remind him/her that a mask must be worn properly for the entire duration of the bus ride. This helps us keep all the children on the bus safe.
Remember~
If your General attends virtually, please remind him/her to appear on camera to be marked present for class.
