Please join the DWS PTO on PTBoard, today! PTBoard is an online platform that we will be using to communicate school information, events and volunteer opportunities to families. As we move away from sending home paper flyers, this will be the only way to stay up-to-date on school events and place orders for school spiritwear, etc. Accounts are free to set up and in no way commit you to volunteering for the PTO. Please reach out with questions at yourdwspto@gmail.com.
Sign up ASAP and be entered into a raffle to receive a $50 Visa Gift Card.
Two winners will be drawn!
Download the App “PTBoard Mobile” in the App Store today!

Kindergarten Class of 2036 Updates
As a reminder - We will be hosting Kindergarten Orientation on Tuesday, August 29. Every Kindergarten family should have received a letter explaining that children will arrive in small groups, go to their classrooms, learn to navigate the building, take a ride on the school bus, and then spend some time with their teachers in their classrooms doing some fun activities. Families are welcome to join Kindergarteners on this visit, however, we ask that families attend without siblings if possible.
