Happy Sunday DDS Families,
It was a great first week back! We were impressed with how quickly students settled into routines, learning and connecting with new and familiar friends. Next Friday you will receive an email from your child’s classroom teacher, inviting you to join their Google Classroom. This will allow you to receive weekly updates about their learning. Don’t forget to save the date for our DDS Open House on September 19th from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. We look forward to seeing all our students on Tuesday, September 3rd at 8:50 am.
Have a great long weekend!
Heather, Monique, Sue, and Debbie
