Enjoy your time together!

Here's wishing all of our families a safe and happy holiday season!

When we get back, it will be chilly - Please send your student with proper outdoor attire including coats, hats, mittens or gloves, boots, snow pants etc.

January 22nd marks the end of quarter 2/semester 1 - so we will hit the ground running coming back from the break!

Enjoy this time with loved ones - we look forward to seeing all of our DC Super Stars back on January 5th

Happy Holidays!

We are just a few days from our Holiday Break!  Thanks to Ms. Lewis and our Band and Choir students for an outstanding performance at last Thursday's Holiday Concert.  Thanks to all the parents and families who turned out to make it an outstanding event!!

As we move toward the Holiday Break we want to remember that teaching and learning continues to go on each day.  Continued thanks in bringing your students to school on time and ready to learn!

The Holiday Break begins on Monday, December 22nd.   School resumes on Monday, January 5th.  Please take a moment (if you have one!) during this time to complete our parent survey found on the DC web page at: http://www.stfrancisschools.org/schools/deercreek/  We still need upwards of 30 surveys completed so we can continue our work in school improvement and district accreditation.  Thanks to all who have completed the survey so far!!

Enjoy a safe and happy time with family and friends.  May all of your dreams for the remainder of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 come true!

  

Survey Says......
