Weekly Update 10 16 26 Families

Conferences are coming up this week. Teachers will be sharing curriculum information with you that would have been shared at curriculum night rather than trying to reschedule at this point!

Below is a map of our Halloween parade to take place on Friday October 30th at 1:30pm. Students are invited to dress up (excluding masks, hats and other items against the school dress code found in the handbook) On the map we have labeled various spots for families to come and view this event. We hope you can join us for this event! 

The work to restore the damage from the water leak is almost complete. We thank everyone for their patience as we work through this challenge. 

We will hold our annual Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday November 11th at 1:30pm in the Gym. 

Once again we will be recognizing veterans part of the DRES community through our program for our annual assembly. If you have a family member that has served or is serving please complete the form below and include a picture if you are willing and able. Photos and names of those submitted will be shared in a program for the assembly and on a bulletin board in school. 

A “Good Cookie” student at DRES is a student that is an overall good citizen of the Deep River community. They present an upbeat, positive personality with respect for others and responsibility not just to themselves but for the whole school community. These students work to make the school a better place through empathy towards others and acting as a role model that represents what a student should strive to be at Deep River Elementary School.

This fall, our five schools started work on a shared vision: a common picture of what we want for our students, our staff, and our communities in the years ahead.  We're partnering with DMG to guide the process.  I want to share what we've done so far and how you can help shape what comes next.

The first step has been to listen and to take a close look at where we are today. To this point, DMG has met with board members, district and school leaders, school staff, and community members. Next, we want to hear from as many of you as possible.  What you tell us, along with what we've learned so far, will shape a draft vision for our schools that reflects what our communities value most and guides our decisions going forward.

To gather your feedback, DMG is hosting four community meetings across our towns. They all cover the same content, so please come to whichever meeting works best for you.

Wednesday, October 28, 6:30–8:30 PM at Chester Elementary School Gymnasium
