Happy Friday!
This week as a school community, we took time to celebrate our amazing Support Staff at DDS! They are the glue and sparkle that keep our building running and bringing out the best in our students. Thank you to our following superheroes - the office team, lunchroom supervisors, educational assistants, facility operator, evening cleaner and library assistant!

Casino Backup Volunteers Needed:
We are also looking for a few volunteers to cover any unexpected absences on the days. Please contact ddsvolunteering@gmail.com if you are free. You do not need a police clearance to volunteer, nor do you need to have a child at Douglasdale School. If you or another adult (friend, family member, etc.) can help us out by working a casino shift, please let us know by emailing ddsvolunteering@gmail.com.
