Still Time To Support a Dora Moore Family

As we shared last week, Sterling (4th) and Michonne (5th) Mike's mother, Shianna, passed away on Saturday.

Shianna's mother has setup a GoFundMe page for support with funeral costs and arrangements.

If you are able, please consider supporting one of our families in a time of need by sharing your resources via this link:

Lice Update

We have seen an uptick in lice related cases. Lice is present in all schools all the time, however, when we notice an uptick in cases we want to be sure to raise the awareness for families to be diligent in checking and on how to treat it. Please review the attached Lice Guidance document. If you have any questions, please reach out to our nurse Nora at nora_baran@dpsk12.net.
