Upcoming Events
Mrs. Karek and Mr. Pittsinger are busyily planning the DES annual field day. Once the schedule is finalized, we will share it with you. Parents may visit during field day but will not be allowed in the building; there will be areas where you can watch the different events. If you choose to take your child home after field day, parents will need to come to the office to sign him/her out as usual. Please remember to have your child wear safe shoes, bring a water bottle, and pack sunscreen and a hat. We look forward to this fun annual event!
The 2023 school year calendar is posted above for you to review.
MCAP testing has almost concluded, and soon DES students will begin taking the iReady math and ELA assessments. Throughout the school, the teachers are reporting great progress by students so this data will be helpful with planning for the coming year.
Thank you for your continued support of DES!
