DPE Announcements

For families of 1st and 2nd graders:

  • Open House: Tuesday, August 30th, 4:30 – 5:30 pm
  • First day of school: Wednesday, August 31st, 8:35 am

For families of Kindergarten students:

  • WaKids Conferences: Wednesday, August 31st – Friday, September 2nd
  • First day of school: Tuesday, September 6th, 8:35 am

We know families love visiting their child’s classroom and meeting teachers. The Open House (1st and 2nd grade) on Tuesday, August 30th, 4:30 - 5:30 pm, is an ideal time to see the school and meet staff. 

For our kindergarten families, WaKids conferences are scheduled August 31st - September 2nd. Families have an opportunity to tour the school, visit classrooms, and meet with staff.

With the congestion that comes with dropping off and picking up students, we are not able to accommodate families coming into the school on the first day (August 31st for 1st and 2nd graders and September 6th for kindergarten). 

If you need to visit the school office to drop off medication, pick up free/reduced lunch forms, or any other business, please plan to do so over the next few days. The first day of school is a very busy and exciting time for everyone but can quickly become overwhelming and hectic if families wait until the first day. 

Please read the August 23rd announcement for important information on student drop off and pick up.  

Thank you for your support in making the first day of school fun and safe for all students.

With appreciation,

Tricia Kannberg, Ed.D, principal

Haley Maxfield, assistant principal
