EXCELLING & A/Conferences & Survey/Principal Nathan's Report

The "good news" has been released by the State, and Desert Trails once again claimed the Excelling status and achieved the letter grade A. We still have much to do and remain determined to improve our practice, procedures, and meet our student's needs.
CONGRATULATIONS DESERT TRAILS on this exceptional performance!

Parent~Teacher Conferences are next week- Oct. 24-27. Please remember that Wednesday, Oct. 26 and Thursday, Oct. 27 are half days- students are dismissed at 12:30 (no lunch will be served) and Friday, Oct. 28 is a K-8 Recess (no school).
As you attend your conference please be sure to take the time to complete the Parent Survey from School Council. We depend on gathering your input to assist us with decisions that come up during the school year. Parent Surveys will be outside classroom doors and also in the office.
Thank you from School Council- your input is valued.

Principal of the Day~ Nathan P. shares his day... "I had a great time as principal for the day although I got embarrassed a lot because I had to do everything. I got to go to a meeting in the morning (at 8am!), do morning announcements, listen and announce the student council speeches, manage the school, go to the cafeteria and watch, go to the classrooms to tell them the dress code, watch students work, do papers, and go to lunch with Mrs. Lee. Everybody greeted me like I was famous! My favorite part of the day was seeing all the kids!"
