Preparing for the 2022-2023 School Year
Dear Disney Families,
It is nearing the time where we will start a brand new year of teaching, learning and connecting at Disney Elementary. I am excited to start my second year serving our community of Disney students, teachers, parents, community partners and the SPS district. With every new year comes new adventures. I look forward to this learning journey with each and every one of you.
First, our first day of school begins Monday, August 22, 2022. We will have new operating hours at Disney. Disney will be a Tier 1 school which begins at 7:20 am and ends at 2:20 pm. Our doors will open at 6:45 am for breakfast and arrival at the Diner. Our arrival and dismissal procedures are limited to car line and bus only. This includes the first day of school. Drop-off procedures will change this year as breakfast will be served in the Diner instead of the classroom. Please look for arrival and dismissal procedure announcements to come the first week of August.
Second, school supply lists have been posted on the website since May 2022. I have included the link HERE for your convenience. If you have trouble finding the information, please go to sps.org/disney, click on the Back to School Link on the left-hand sidebar, and you will see the supply list.
Classroom assignments will be posted in the Home Access Center (HAC) on August 10th. They will not be posted on the building doors this year. A teacher may appear in your child's account, but note that this may not be accurate until data is locked in by the district. Individual teacher requests are not granted.
You can access HAC by going to sps.org/disney, and choose Home Access Login on the left-hand side bar and click on the link. If you do not have access to HAC, please contact Shayla at 523-3600 no earlier than August 2. Mrs. Shayla returns to work on that day. If you have an account, but forgot your login information, please contact Shayla. Teachers will report back to school August 16th. Teachers will be enjoying their break until then.
Meet the Teacher will be held on Friday, August 19th. Kindergarten Orientation is from 9-11:00am. First-Fifth Grade Meet the Teacher will be held 12:30-2:30pm. Supplies may be brought in on this day during the scheduled times. More detailed information will be sent the first week of August.

Once again, we are excited to start a new, fresh year of learning. Each child deserves a new start to a new learning experience. We encourage you to speak positivity and excitement about new learning opportunities this year. We look forward to engaging with our Disney students and families through innovative learning experiences, meaningful connections, and positive relationships. See you soon and until then we wish you well!
