Happy Independence Day from the Deer Park School District! We wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
Our high school language students are making unforgettable memories across Europe this summer! 🌍✈️
Our Spanish and French language travelers arrived in Paris in the middle of a historic heat wave—apparently the day before their arrival was the hottest ever recorded in France! Despite the soaring temperatures, the Deer Park group embraced every opportunity to explore, learn, and experience French culture firsthand.
📍 Photo 1: In front of the iconic Eiffel Tower
📍 Photo 2: At the beautiful Palais du Luxembourg, once a royal residence and now home to the French Senate
📍 Photo 3: Enjoying the stunning Luxembourg Gardens, a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike
After spending the past few days exploring the south of France, the group is now headed to Barcelona for the next leg of their adventure. We can't wait to see where their travels take them next!
Bon voyage and safe travels to our amazing students and staff!

Rain couldn’t dampen DPE's spirit for field day! 🌧️❌
Even with a little wet weather, Field Day 2026 was an absolute blast! From the classic parachute in the gym and high-energy indoor bowling to epic tug-o-war battles and rock climbing, our students brought the energy. We even braved the elements for some messy outdoor water games before cooling off with popsicles inside! 🍧✨
Huge shoutout to our amazing staff and volunteers for pivoting so fast and making today unforgettable. Our kids definitely proved that a little rain just makes the memories sweeter!

Our students at the Arcaida had a fabulous Field Day yesterday to celebrate the last full day of school. The rain didn't stop this annual tradition, and students embraced the weather with smiles and enthusiasm. The day included snow cones, track events, and activity stations that kept everyone moving and having fun. A huge thank you goes out to the staff, volunteers, and organizers who helped make the day such a success. Even with a little rain, it was a fantastic day at Arcadia.

Deer Park fourth graders enjoyed a walking field trip to the fire station! This community partnership has become a cherished annual tradition that fourth-grade teachers and students look forward to each year. Along the way, local community members honked and waved at the students, making the walk even more memorable.
At the fire station, students rotated through a variety of hands-on learning stations led by firefighters. This year, they even had the opportunity to tour both an ambulance and a fire truck. After a fun and educational morning, students enjoyed pizza generously donated by our amazing PTCA and shared lunch together at Perrin’s Field.

At the Arcadia this week, Mrs. Siwinski’s classes did a living history project. Students were to reenact famous paintings from the Revolutionary War. Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, Washington Crossing the Delaware, Betsey Ross Presenting George Washington the Flag, and the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Independence are just some of the many examples portrayed by students. What a fun and interactive way to learn history!
