As we come off of a fabulous holiday week, please remember to bundle your little ones up in the morning before sending them off to the bus stop or through carpool. Also please make sure to label your child's outerwear with their name so that, if lost, those items may be promptly returned to their homeroom teacher.
Lost and Found - New Process!
We will be donating unclaimed Lost and Found items every two weeks, on the 1st and 15th of every month. We have new processes in place to only donate items that have been unclaimed for two weeks, so you need not worry that your child's items will be donated unless they have been sitting for at least two weeks.
These Shoes Were Made for Walking!
Pull out those walking shoes, it's that time again! Walk to School Day is this Wednesday, December 4th. The highly coveted Golden Shoe award will be up for grabs again, so make sure your student is counted!
Ali's Cookies Spirit Day!
Ali's Cookies is opening their doors once again to DES, offering a Spirit Day on Sunday, December 8th! While you are out doing your holiday shopping, stop in and place your cookie or cake orders for holiday parties and those orders will count towards our Spirit Day totals! Ali's will personalize your cookie cake with a photo, school or business logo or with handmade chocolate! Don't miss this fun and exciting Spirit Day!
Classroom Holiday Parties
You should be receiving information through your Room Parents soon regarding the guidelines for Classroom Holiday Parties. Please remember that we have many classrooms that are nut-free or gluten free due to student allergies, so please make sure to follow the food guidelines for your classroom. There are parent volunteers who are designated to bring in food items, so please check with your room parents prior to sending anything in.
See you around school,
Some notes about the parties:
Most of us already pay for natural gas. Why not choose Georgia Natural Gas - the gas provider that provides a program which directly benefits you and our school! It's simple, easy and provides significant funds for our school with very little effort. GNG will give $5 to DES for each month the participant remains an active GNG customer.
