Student Attendance
Please make sure you contact our attendance line anytime your student will not be present at school. While it is great to contact the teacher directly it is also important to let the office know so we can correctly code your attendance. You do not need to contact the attendance line if the school has notified you that you have to quarantine.

WhyTry, one of my favorite programs, is offering their Parent Guide to Resiliency, free to our parents!! This is an incredible gift!! I believe that building resiliency in our children is the most important learning tool we can give them. It is right up there with building intrinsic motivation. Kids have to be able to hit a wall and have the strength to figure out how to go through it, over it, around it, etc. Too many of our kiddos just give up and walk away. Resiliency, more than any other executive skill, determines the difference between success and failure. This is true whether you are talking about academics, sports, or life. Please, take advantage of this opportunity to help your child build resilience during this time when we could all use it!
Media Center
The Cafe in the DCHS Media Center is open from 7:45-10:05 each day. We are selling frozen coffee drinks, lattes, hot chocolate, and snacks!

Deer Creek Communication Platform
Deer Creek School District is embarking on a new communication platform to include a Deer Creek App that is designed to enable parents, staff and students to stay informed and up-to-date on events, important issues, general information, emergency notifications and site based activities. The Deer Creek App will work conjointly with the SchoolMessenger App (registration only required one time) as a notification system. Once a parent has registered with the SchoolMessenger App, they will only need to use the Deer Creek App for all things Deer Creek!
