Quick Announcements!
7:35 School Doors Unlocked!
There are a few kids arriving to school before 7:35. Students are not allowed inside the building until 7:35. We must insist that your children not come to school until that time as there is no staff on duty to supervise and students will not be allowed inside the building.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Deerfield Expectations Reminder
A Story for Every Child. A Reflection of Every Community.
OurStory, http://ourstory.diversebooks.org/ is a book discovery tool that celebrates diversity and strives to include a wide array of titles with diverse content and by creators from marginalized communities. Our story used the WE Need Diverse Books definition when selecting the books included in their app database. WNDB defines diversity as all diverse experiences, including but not limited to LGBTQIA, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities and ethnic, cultural and religious minorities. OurStory has a growing database of curated books reflecting diverse characters and themes that librarians, educators, parents, and children can search for reading recommendations.
