Douglas' 9/8/24 Message
Dear DES Families,
Our students completed an incredible second week of school! Our staff is committed to setting a strong foundation for our students, and it’s clear that they are thriving because of the care and passion they bring every day.
Our first few weeks have been focused on building connections with students, managing classroom routines, ensuring students are following school wide expectations, establishing learning structures, and building community. We look forward to another great week!
Kindly,
Tiffany Faison-Bullock & Sarah Aycrigg
