Welcome Letter 2023-2024

Welcome Letter From the DPS Admin Team

Hello DPS Families, 


It is our sincere pleasure to welcome you back for the 2023/2024 school year.  We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is ready for what is ahead of us!  Our staff is excited to have our students back on campus soon.  As you begin to prepare for the upcoming year, here is a reminder of what our bell schedule is. Students in grades 1st - 8th will attend school from 8:15 - 2:40, with the exception of Wednesday when we will dismiss at 1:40 (early release).  Kindergarten students will attend from 8:00 - 2:25 and dismiss on Wednesdays at 1:25.  Our TK program will have an AM and PM class.  The AM class will attend 8:00 - 11:35 and dismiss at 10:35 on Wednesdays.  The PM class will attend from 11:35 - 3:10 and on Wednesdays will attend from 10:35 - 1:10.

This year we will be focused on helping our students grow academically and behaviorally, and develop their social-emotional skills by way of our Leader in Me focus.  Using our district’s Portrait of a Graduate as our guiding vision, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that creates visionary leaders.  We look forward to partnering with families to make sure each child reaches their potential this year.


One of the biggest challenges we face each year is dropping off and picking up students on campus.  This process runs much smoother when families follow the procedures we have in place.  PLEASE read our  PARKING LOT LETTER to make sure you understand the school’s expectations.

As the year begins there are some important dates that you will want to note:


Monday, August 14th Meet and Greet events for all grade levels.  Families will receive an email from their child’s teacher that outlines expectations for the school year on Monday.  At our Meet & Greet events, families will meet with Administration, see their student’s classrooms and have the opportunity to meet their children’s teachers.  Each event will begin in our PAC with a welcome-back presentation from the administration team.  There will be no formal presentation in the classroom.  This time is for the students and families to meet the teacher and familiarize themselves with the campus.

9:00 - 10:00 7th and 8th Grade

10:30 - 11:30 6th Grade

1:00 - 2:00 TK & Kinder

2:00 - 3:00  3rd, 4th and 5th Grades
