Mr. Holt's Notes
We are off to an amazing school year! I have really enjoyed getting to meet and spend time with each of our Huskies. Thank you for making the start to our year so successful and safe. It takes a community effort to make that possible. Here are a few updates and changes for the school year.
Practicing Excellence
- Doors open @ 7:40am and Tardy Bell/Instruction begins at 8:10am. Thank you for making sure students are at DHE by 8:10am and ready for instruction.
- Breakfast ends at 8:05am. Food is energy, and learning requires energy. If eating at school please arrive early.
- WE READ- Each and Every Day! President Harry Truman said, "not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers." Thank you for supporting student success by modeling and encouraging reading at home as well as at school. We know our DHE students are going to be the leaders of their generation, we expect nothing less.
Safety Updates
- Students and staff only in the cafeteria in the mornings starting Monday.
- Lunch Visitors- If you come visit your kiddo at lunch we have a special table setup for you and your child to eat at.
- Staff are assigned to the front foyer to greet students and monitor for student safety.
- If exiting your vehicle during arrival or dismissal times, please park in the parking lot.
- All visitors entering the building will be asked to check in through our visitor management system called HALLPASS.
Birthdays
- Non-food items may be sent to classroom but no food items are allowed per SPS Wellness guidelines
- Birthday Selfie- Mr. Holt takes a birthday selfie with all student and posts to DHE social media (unless you have signed the media block form)
- Students are celebrated at Rise and Shine, on morning announcements, and with a birthday selfie.
