Happy Friday DDS Families, 

June is a joyful month of celebration at DDS! As we approach the end of the school year, our teachers and students are taking time to recognize and celebrate the incredible growth each student has made. We’re also looking forward to our final multi-age activity, where students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 come together to learn and connect. Exciting year-end events like Activity Day and the Grade 5 Celebration are just around the corner! 

As we enter this final stretch of the school year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you. Your continued partnership has helped make DDS a welcoming, caring, and inclusive community—one where every student feels supported to be their best self. 

To celebrate the success of the 2024–2025 school year, DDS School Council is thrilled to invite all DDS families and community members to an Outdoor Year-End Picnic on Wednesday, June 19 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Bring a blanket, enjoy the company of our school community, and take a night off from cooking! 

Our School Council has arranged for a fantastic lineup of local food trucks: 
🍧 Kona Ice 
🌭 The Dogfather 
🍟 Family Fry Guy 
🌯 The Burrito Mexican Food 

We hope to see you there for an evening of food, fun, and community spirit! 

Have a great weekend!

Families must register by Sunday, June 22, 2025 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year. 

Transportation will continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 22 deadline will be delayed. 

Confirmed routes will be posted in August. For those who register after the June 22 deadline, it may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus. 

Transportation can be cancelled with no financial impact by submitting the cancellation form by Sept. 30, 2025.
