Happy Friday DDS Families, 

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our families who attended Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences and visited the APEGA Science Fair. Strong connections between home and school play an essential role in student success. It was wonderful to see so many families celebrating their child’s hard work, curiosity, and growth. These moments of shared pride help reinforce the value of learning and inspire students to continue striving for their best. Thank you for your continued support and partnership! 

We hope you have a wonderful Spring Break and look forward to seeing students on Monday, March 30th

World Water Day – March 22nd:
