May I Walk My Child Into School?
We understand that if your child is new to DES or a PreK, Kindergarten, or 1st-grade student you wish to walk your child to class on the first day. Below is the guidance for walking your child to class.
- PreK (3K and or 4K) parents may walk students to class from August 3-6 and August 9 &10.
- Kindergarten parents may walk students to class from August 3-6.
- First grade and new to DES parents may walk students to class on the first day.
If you plan to walk your child to class, you will need to park in the front parking lot and use the cross walk at the front of the school. Our staff will then guide or assist you where to go.
