Educating every child for confidence today and contribution tomorrow.
A Message From the Principal
DHES Families,
It has been another great week at DHES. The students are working hard and doing a great job in the classroom and around the school. As we returned from the holidays, over the last weeks, we have been reminding our students about the importance of working together, helping each other and being kind in all settings. We appreciate your support in this area as well! 2023 is going to be fantastic at DHES.
We were scheduled to have an MLK Jr. assembly this last Wednesday, but unfortunately 3 of the 4 cast members became ill just prior to the show. We are working with the company to reschedule and are hoping this will occur in early February. Stay tuned.
Being at school and on time is always an important habit. Tardiness continues to be a challenge for some of our students at DHES. Please do your best to arrive at school with plenty of time to be dropped off or park, and walk into class. Students should be in the class prior to 8:30 am. Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
Kevin Anderson, Principal
DHES
