Communication

Where should I look…

For important school announcements, updates, events and the Executive Director letter: Our school newsletter, which will be delivered electronically bi-weekly. An archive of the newsletters will also be housed on the website and a paper copy of the current newsletter will be posted on the downstairs bulletin boards and available in the main office. Because this is our official form of consistent communication as a whole school, please contact the front office if you are having any trouble receiving these. Please read this newsletter carefully.

For urgent messages (weather closings and emergencies): DPS messenger system – please make sure that you notify the school if you want to be contacted by phone, email, text, or all within this system. You can update this information on your Student Verification Form at registration.

For fun updates, showcase of work, and accolades: Our official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/The.DDES.Difference – please DO NOT rely on this page for school logistic updates

For crew news, schedules, activities, and requests: The chosen form of communication of your crew leader, which may be a weekly email, newsletter, or a Shutterfly account – please contact them directly
