Welcome back everyone!  It is Homecoming week for DCSC and we are doing spirit day with everyone else - today is hat and mask day!  Tomorrow is PJ day!  Our word of the week - initiative!  Do you ever take the initiative in anything?  Does it help?  Does it hurt?  Have a GREAT Day! #OraclePride

Good morning my people!

Made up for several missed birthdays while I have been out.  Also, we have spirit days next week - what grade will earn rights to the HUGE 4 foot spirit award trophy?  This thing is HUGE!  Also, gave some information about Spell Bowl for 4th and 5th grade students who are interested.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Great morning!  School pictures are Thursday - everyone gets their picture and yes the mask will not be required - these are the pictures that go in the yearbook AND the school-wide composite photo hanging in our cafeteria.  All pictures will be taken in the morning.  Virtual kids be here around 8:15 a.m. - parents must remain outside.  Shidler will gather them up and walk them down to get their pictures taken promptly at 8:30.  Believe it or not, Midterm 1 is this Friday!  On this date in history in 1814, Francis Scott Key composed the lyrics to The Star Spangled Banner.  #OraclePride

Great morning young people!  Thanks for tuning in - we celebrate many, many birthday, offer some 'Today in History' and talk more about the power of CHOICE.  Reminder, tomorrow (9/11) is an eLearning day - students are NOT at DCES.  Thank you parents as we have much, much needed PD for all our staff.

Your CHOICE for the most exciting news in all of Carroll County -that is right, your choice is right with this podcast!  Anyway, just showing the value of the word choice.  Just one birthday today, did 'Today in History' and talked about Friday being an elearning day.  Have a great day folks! #OraclePride

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!  Hope each of you had a great Labor Day weekend.  Our word of the week - choice.  How powerful is that short word?  We celebrate a couple student birthdays today.  Reminder, Friday is an eLearning Day to allow for MUCH NEEDED PD for our staff.  I thank you in advance for your support.  This will help us with our phonics instruction and our use of our new formative assessment - both impact all staff members.

Well, amazed it is Friday already!  Sounds like we are having a beautiful day today and tomorrow - do enjoy them.  Reminder, Labor Day is Monday.  Please be safe!  Also, note that Friday, September 11th is an eLearning day as well.  We are pleased that we are actually able to 'schedule' this day (didn't think that would happen) - however, there are some things that require significant attention and no way to do it for large staff members.  So, thank you for your patience!  Several birthdays for students and a staff member!  Enjoy all!

Holy Fog!  Hope everyone took extra time to get here safely!  Safety first!  Reminder that there is no school Monday due to Labor Day!

Have a great day!

Great morning crew!  We have a couple students birthdays and a staff birthday.  PLUS, as a bonus, Mrs. Shidler has a birthday Friday - Wow!  Talked a little about the new Camp Tecumseh/DCES Latchkey program - cool stuff!  Make it a great day for yourself and for other people - it makes the world a better place! #OraclePride

Welcome to September!  Our word of the week - Spirit.  Shared the Specials Students of the Week with everyone - great job students!  Reminder, there is no school on Monday, September 7th due to Labor Day.

Have a GREAT day all!
