Have a wonderful summer DES Knights! We will see you in August! #WeAreDES


Welcome to the last week of the 2023-2024 school year! Important things for families to do this week:
Check for and pay fines and fees in the parent portal. (Did you know the district currently has more than $80,000 in outstanding meal account payments?)
Pick up any prescription medications from the clinic.
Remember sunscreen and water if your student(s) celebrate Field Day.
Pack a disposable lunch bag if your student(s) pack lunch on the last day.
Schedule your student(s) to get their vaccinations updated if they will be in Kindergarten, 8th or 12th grade next fall so they are ready to return in August.
Watch your email inbox for important updates this summer.
Plan your summer reading list!
