PLAN E on Monday and Other Important News

Dear Parents,

Thanks to all of you for helping smooth out the kinks in our morning drop off and afternoon pickup process.  Due to your patience and cooperation, traffic is flowing well and the students are being safely transported to and from school each day.  The 3:15-3:30 time period continues to be the most congested of the day, so we ask that you assist in alleviating the problem by exiting the school at the north end of the parking lot.  Vehicles who travel back to the south exit, against the flow of traffic, after student pickup are creating a safety issue as well as slowing down the process.

The after school supervision program has become much more effective as well.  Students who remain after school have the opportunity to attend study tables on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  They also are able to attend a study hall each day, or have the option of participating in physical activities and games.  All students are being supervised until 5:00 pm.  In order to create a safe environment where all students are supervised until they are picked up, we ask that you coordinate a specific pick up time with your child each day.   If you have any questions about after school clubs and activities, please contact the faculty advisor for that club or activity.

On Monday, September 16 we will hold our first Plan E day at DRSS.   This day is considered to be a regular school day in that students will be expected to study and complete class assignments by a certain date and time.  In the future, high school students will attend virtual classes with their teachers through the Elluminate program (thus the E in Plan E day), but for this first Plan E day, high school students can find their assignments (and deadlines) on Pilot.  Middle school students will be assigned work on Friday that will be due the following Tuesday.  

Thank you for a very successful start to the school year!
