Yahoo, it's here!!!

Welcome back Disney students and families! The day has started off great with new friendships budding and lots of learning in the air! The sound of students in the halls is like the Superbowl for educators! This is what keeps us motivated through all of our training and classroom set-up. Today is the day, and we are just so excited to be back with our favorite Disney Dolphins!

Counselor's Corner

Happy first week of school! I hope that as we settle into new routines, you find yourself taking time to breathe and enjoy the small moments with your students. I am looking forward to year two as Disney’s full-time school counselor and am also very excited to have Linda Cox joining the counseling team three days a week. Please let me know if you have any questions for either of us!

Please feel free to contact Mrs. Cox or Mrs. Moore at hmmoore@spsmail.org or lkcox@spsmailorg.

Tardy Procedures NEW!

After 7:20, students must be walked into the office by an adult. This is a new procedure for the 2023-24 school year. The student and parent will report to the office, and the student will be sent to class as not to miss more learning time The parents will have the responsibility of physically signing in the student. If a parent does not walk the child in, a phone call will be made from administration as a reminder that this is our procedure. If procedure is still not upheld, a parent conference will be expected and the student may have consequences until the parent attends the conference. Learning and safety are a priority at Disney. It is our responsibility to work together to ensure students are present for the full school day. As we understand there are appointments and outside responsibilities, it is ultimately the parent's responsibility to practice timeliness in arrival.
