Good morning!  I share birthdays of a couple of students today.  Also, Mr. Shidler reflects on what transpired over the last 24-36 hours.  Parents - thank you.  I assure you we want EVERYONE in our building.  

We will continue to support how we can.  Please, please be in touch with your child's teacher if you have any questions.

Good morning all!  Several things going on this week - picture retake day is tomorrow, NEHS is meeting tomorrow @ 2:30 p.m., Jar Wars is going on all week (love loose change), and just getting a great education!  Have a great day all!

Great morning and welcome back to everyone!  Looking forward to a super week!  Our word of the week - focus.  What does 'focus' mean to you?  We celebrate a couple of birthdays today.  Good luck to our Spell Bowl team today as they compete after school.  Also, picture retakes are Wednesday for DCES.  Have a super day!

Good morning all!  Today is National Kindness Day!  That is just another day at DCES!  We recognize the efforts of our students during our recent Walk-a-Thon.  Congrats to the Maverick, Ava, and Cree for their outstanding contributions and prizes.  Today is another spirit day.  Also, we begin Jar Wars next week - any loose change, we will take.  Even that loose quarter, nickel, and dirty 3 pennies near your nightstand will work:)  Have a great weekend all!

Great morning!  This morning, we focus in again on our word of the week - prioritization.  Also, we discuss the awesome Veterans Day program put on by Mr. Conner and his 5th grade leaders.  Be sure to participate in our spirit days, get that ticket, possibly win that prize!  Also, are you interested in a leadership position within our school?  We hope so!  Have a great day!

So excited to see everyone this morning.  Today, we celebrate our veterans  - all those who have served our country!  Also, we discuss the availability of school-wide leadership positions for students opening today - tour guide, morning greeter, bulletin board, breakfast transporter, arborist, and PLTW.  Ask your child if he/she applied for one of these school-wide leadership positions (jobs).  Reminder we have spirit days all the remaining days of this week!  Which grade will win the spirit trophy?  Don't forget there is a virtual All Pro Dad event tonight at 7:30 p.m. - you can find that link information on our November newsletter.  Have a great day!

Good morning crew!  So excited about tomorrow!  Staff have so missed having our kids back in our learning community.  We do thank all those who have helped support our students during our recent shut-down.  We talk about Red Ribbon spirit days for W-F of this week.  We also discuss 'This Day in History.'  Looking for info for the Great Wall of China - who can help a guy out?  Also, reminder that a virtual All Pro Dad meeting will happen tomorrow/Wed @ 7:30 p.m. - the link can be found on the November Newsletter.  Have a great day!  Wear that Red, White, and Blue tomorrow!

Good morning crew!  Sorry I didn't complete a podcast to end last week (thank you to those who did reach out and question why).  I got everyone caught up on birthdays, we discuss 'new' spirit days as we resume physical school on Wednesday, and we discuss other things going on in our learning community.  Looking forward to seeing all Wednesday!

Great morning crew!  I update the birthday list, celebrate some days in history on this date of November 4, and celebrate the fine student work in one of our classrooms.  Have a great day all.  Remember, reach out to your teacher if you have any questions or the front office.

Good morning all!  Again, we are entering day 4 of 10 days without kids.  The teachers/staff are restless too:)  We miss our kids but are optimistic we shall see everyone again Wednesday, Nov. 11th.  Our word of the week - vision.  What a powerful word.  I know it is tough for a 7-year old to have a vision, but it is fun to hear that at their age and see how it changes over the years.  I celebrate Caydence's birthday, discuss the 'falling back' of clocks, and share some 'This Day in History' for all those history buffs.  Have a great day all!  If you need anything, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office.
