Our Knights know the importance of great attendance! Each month, we've met our goal of staying above 90% school-wide attendance. Showing up matters!

Every voice matters. Partner conversations help students share ideas and deepen learning. #WeAreDES
Our Dardenne Knights are busy learning sight words—and practicing everywhere, even in the halls thanks to our sight word bulletin board!
Twinning with your teacher? That's a win! #WeAreDES
Teacher feedback isn’t just about correcting—it’s about coaching. The right words at the right time can shape thinking, build confidence, and move learning forward.
Using manipulatives in math helps students make abstract concepts concrete. When students can see, touch, and move their thinking, understanding deepens, and learning sticks.
Our 5th graders went vertical today—and the learning went up with it! Using wall space to share thinking led to stronger conversations and better understanding. Love seeing students learn from each other!
2nd graders showing their math thinking using place value blocks—explaining, questioning, and learning from each other through rich conversation. #WeAreDES

Don't underestimate the power of the simple whiteboard! It gives every student a voice to share their thinking, and gives the teacher a quick visual snapshot to assess understanding instantly. Engaging everyone, every time!
