Dear DGS Families
Welcome back and happy new year. We hope you had a wonderful winter break with friends and family.
Thank you for your Toy Mountain donations including cash and gift cards to help those in need. This spirit of giving helped brighten the lives of many families.
Shortlisted principal candidates for DGS will be interviewed this week. A decision will likely be made soon. The successful candidate will start at the beginning of February.
It was encouraging to see so many families participate in parent-teacher-student conferences in November. A strong partnership between the school and families contributes to student success. Teachers are presently working on report cards and Individual Program Plans. Report cards will be available online January 27.
