Sign Up for the Gator Blast

Attention all DES families!

You NEED to get the Gator Blast…

A reminder for new and returning Gator Families to be sure to sign up for the PTO’s weekly Gator Blast e-mails.
This is THE BEST way to stay in touch with everything happening at DES.
They usually are published on Sundays, but often are sent as needed also.

The school also sends out its own e-mails, usually monthly.
However, the Gator Blast is the main method of communications regarding special events, programs, clubs, PTO news, and much more.
From Wacky Sock Day to Spirit Wear purchases, you’ll find it in the Gator Blast!

Sign Up Today by clicking this link:

School Picture Days are here

Smile!

 

It’s time for school pictures at last. So get ready to smile whether you’re a hybrid or virtual family because there are options for both. See the Gator Blast & Principal Harris’ newsletters via e-mail for all the details.

Hybrid families will have to pick a date on a Sign-Up Genius. And don’t forget to pick up your art supplies if you have a 5th grader hybrid student.

March 1st brings changes

We start again.

Some will be returning to the school as hybrid students.
Others will be continuing as virtual students.
Either way, new schedules, some new teachers too.

We wish everyone the very best as we all move forward together!

Go Gators!
