Hawk Happenings

Last Day of School

Dear Hawk Families,

It's hard to believe we have reached the end of the 2022-2023 school year! It has been an amazing year at Desert Trails. I have really enjoyed my first year here and look forward to another fabulous year next year. Thank you for being such a welcoming and supportive community. I have a few items for you to review and one more video of our last month of school. Have a safe and relaxing summer break!


Sincerely,

Mrs. Maynard, Principal

EduKits

DTES Families,


It’s never too soon to start planning ahead for the next school year. It will be here before we know it and it’s better to be prepared! DTES PTO is providing families with an easy way to gather school supplies through Edukits. In fact, you can start ordering your child’s kit today, and all the supplies that your child will need will be delivered right to your child’s classroom on open house, the day before the first day of school. You are just a few clicks away from checking that off your summer to-do list! Click on this link to get started!


The last day to order Edukits is June 15, 2023.


Please contact Lin Graff, your DTES PTO Edukits Coordinator, with any questions at dtesptoedukits@gmail.com.


THANK YOU!
