I am getting very excited to start a brand new year with all of the great students and parents, who I claim as my Desert Trails' family! I hope each one of you had a wonderful summer.
The office staff and myself have been back to work now since mid-July, busy starting all of the planning it takes to successfully launch a new school year!!! We are registering new students daily, and it is a thrill to see our "school family" grow! I look forward to seeing everyone on our first day of school~ THURSDAY, AUGUST 11th!
Here are just a few things I'd like to share at this time:
WHICH DOOR? Student class lists will be shared with parents in two ways this year.
#1 Through Infinite Campus. You may log in on Monday, Aug. 8 to see your child's teacher
or
#2 DTES front office windows will once again display each classroom list on Aug. 9 after 4pm
DO DROP IN~ If you would like to drop in to say hi to your new teacher and also to bring in your school supplies our gracious teachers have offered to open their doors on Wed. Aug. 10 @ 2:00-3:00.
RING! RING! Be listening for a phone blast from our new PTO President, Karrie Bakkila! She will be sending home, via the phone, a very special Back to School message from our PTO!
WHERE TO GO! For students in grades 1-6, students are asked to go to the playground. Our hard working PTO once again has painted all teacher's names on the line-up side walk!
The bell rings at 8:55 and teachers will come out to take their students to their classrooms.
We ask that parents say their good-byes and allow the students to start their day!!!! All grades 1-6 will be dismissed in the same location at 3:00.
For our precious new Kinder students, the Kinder playground will be open at 8:30 with teacher cones set out for you to know which line is for you!!! Again, the bell will ring at 8:55! On the first day, parents are asked to escort their child into their new room and when the teacher let's you know, you'll be asked to join us in the cafeteria for my welcome & some very important information! At 2:50ish students will be dismissed in the same location. Also, keep your eyes open to see one of our District Administrators visiting Desert Trails. As tradition, these exceptional leaders make it a priority to visit schools on this very special day!
SAVE THE DATE~ Parent Orientation Night will be held earlier this year! Mark your calendar on Tuesday, August 16th as you will not want to miss this very important night. More information will come home Aug. 11.
That is it for now, but more will be coming soon!
