Educating every child for confidence today and contribution tomorrow.
A Message From the Principal
DHES Families,
Happy New Year!! I hope you had a fantastic 2022 and 2023 is your best year ever! We are looking forward to great things at DHES for the remainder of the school year.
Given the time of year, we are likely to experience ever changing weather patterns (rain, snow, ice) and we expect the temperatures to drop as well. Please keep an eye on the weather reports, school closures, and delays, as well as have your kids dress appropriately for winter weather. We try to go outside even in the cold. Please be prepared!! Thanks.
Last call for what is currently in the lost and found. All items will be donated to a local charity after January 16th. Please be sure to write your student’s name on all coats, sweatshirts, lunch boxes, water bottles, and the like, so we can get it back to them if it is misplaced.
Please note, January 16th is a day to celebrate and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. near his birthdate. I hope we all take opportunities to learn, serve, and celebrate together. Make it a day on, rather than a day off!
Thanks,
Kevin Anderson, Principal
DHES
