Bus Routes
It's that time of year again! Please take a
moment to review the school bus routes listed below. There have
been changes made this year due to the decrease to 8 buses.
If your child needs to be dropped off at any other location
other than home, please send in a permission note with your
child on the first day of school for his/her teacher. Students
in afternoon Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade will receive
a tag to put on his/her back-pack for the first few weeks of
school. This "tag" represents which bus your child needs to
take each afternoon. (Each bus has a certain color assigned
to it, which is located on a large round magnet next to the
entrance door on the bus.) This allows teachers and bus drivers
to make sure every student is on the correct bus. Please remember
to have your child at the bus stop 5 minutes before the approximate
time listed for your road. Drivers will be adjusting to a consistent
schedule as the first few days go by, so please bear with us.
If you have any questions please contact Kris at Dail Transportation:
736-9682. We hope you and your families have had a wonderful
summer vacation! See you on Wednesday, August 27th!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped
to make Teacher Appreciation Week a huge success. We began our week
with the much loved coffee cart that delivers coffee, tea and goodies
to teachers. Our delightful hostesses were Colleen Guardia, Audrey
Barnes, Patti Diaz, Delia Shampy and Mary Wallace. We continued
with delicious food all week long! Thanks to all of the room parents
who made the many phone calls and to the families who provided the
wonderful food. We ended the week with a luncheon for all of our
staff members. MaryAnn Clark and Jen Prentice did a wonderful job
making the luncheon run smoothly! Thanks again to everyone who helped
to make our teachers feel appreciated all week long!!
Curriculum Night
Penguins marching, Weather dioramas,
kids playing math games with their parents in classrooms, kids in
the gym joining students from other grade levels in jump roping
and other activities. This is what curriculum night looked like.

enjoyable. See the February 2, 2007 bridge for more pictures.

On Thursday, May 24th, 2007students at DCS had an opportunity
to listen to a presentation by author and illustrator, Paul O. Zelinsky.
Paul traveled from his home in Brooklyn, New York to spend the day at
our school. He gave three presentations for Grades K - 6. Zelinsky is
recognized as "one of the most inventive and critically successful artists
in the field".
In 1998 he received the Caldecott Medal for Rapunzel,
as well as Caldecott Honors for Hansel and Gretel (1985), Rumpelstilskin
(1987) and Swamp Angel (1995). We were excited about his visit because
he has so much to share with students concerning writing and illustrating.
