Deer Park Middle School students got the opportunity this week to earn a trip to the Spokane Valley Mall for strong academics and positive behavior. These students maintained all C's or higher, no tardies, and no referrals for a quarter, which earned them a Plus Card. A Plus Card entitles the holder to a myriad of special responsibilities and privileges. Students who got to go on this field trip had to have a Plus Card, Spike Bucks to enter the drawing, and/or have a friend who had been drawn (as each drawing winner got to bring a friend). These hard-working students got to spend the day at the mall, shopping and having fun!
This past week, Mrs. Basta’s Extreme Weather and Disasters class at Home Link experienced life as weathermen, creating and presenting their own weather reports with green screen magic. Home Link students also showcased their creativity at the annual craft fair, making and selling their own amazing creations.
Notification from DPSD: The National Weather Service in Spokane has issued a high-wind advisory starting this evening (Tuesday) at 10 p.m. and in effect through Wednesday at 4 p.m. The NWS advisory lists SW winds from 25-45 MPH with gusts up to 60 MPH for Spokane and neighboring counties. According to NWS, damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines, leading to possible power outages and difficult travel.
We anticipate that some of our bus routes may be affected by road debris. Please be patient as buses may be running behind schedule for student pick-up and drop-off tomorrow. Additionally, we will be monitoring HVAC and electricity in the schools early in the morning.
Families: Please monitor your email in the morning for updates. If no communication is received from the District, please attend school as scheduled.

This past Friday, third graders at the Arcadia held their annual gingerbread house decorating event. Students and family members gathered in the cafeteria as each student created their own fun and festive gingerbread house design.
This year, local churches and Architerra Home joined together in providing gifts for Deer Park students. With the help of some staff members, high school students, and a volunteer from one of the churches, all the gifts have been wrapped and distributed to the schools. The generosity has been truly amazing to see!

Some highlights from this week from HomeLink included a group of students, parents, and staff, led by Shannon Siemen, caroling after school at local businesses and homes around Deer Park. In Mrs. Denham's "Dominos Rally" class, students learned about the various stacking techniques as they create one large combined train. What fun!

6-7 is a "real thing" elementary through high school! Staff, students, and the Elf had fun celebrating day 67.
Deer Park Rotary was proud to recognize our Student of the Month, Connor Hallgarth, from Deer Park FFA at today’s meeting! 🙌 With 4 years in FFA, he’s built a custom aluminum fuel tank for his truck in the shop, earned his FFA State Degree and is already working toward his American Degree. When he’s not active in FFA or the trapshooting club, you’ll find him running equipment in the hay fields—baling, stacking, and delivering. After graduation, he plans to pursue a career in diesel mechanics. 🚜🔧👏
Deer Park FFA also presented at Rotary and shared the many options and activities associated with FFA! Way to go, DPHS!
