Good afternoon DCS!

First, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Matt O'Neil who was the guest speaker at the DCS 5th Annual Veterans Day assembly last Friday. He did an outstanding job! Also, the students made postcards for our local Veterans. I was able to send them off to the local VFW! Kids making a difference!

Virtual OPEN HOUSE.

This month, our schoolwide theme is skills for learning: listening, focusing attention, using self-talk to stay on-task, and being assertive when asking for help with a learning task. In our morning announcements and school assembly, we’ll be reminding students of these skills, which help students be successful learners.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, remember to go directly to your child's teacher for any questions, concerns, positive feedback, or for information about the school day.

We will be using #dcsanchors all over social media. Look for it on twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Morrone, Proud Principal of DCS!

Thank you veterans!

We celebrated our veterans and active military members at our 5th Annual DCS Veterans Day Assembly. Students celebrated in person, during the day, but we could not allow guests due to Covid restrictions. We had a virtual assembly that streamed into each classroom. The assembly included a slideshow that honors our military families. Click here to see the slide show.
