From Our Principal
We are incredibly excited to be welcoming students back to school on Tuesday, August 24! Teachers and staff have been busy preparing classrooms in anticipation of an exciting school year. First, we hope to see you at Open House on Monday. Please see below for additional information, as well as information about DIS safety procedures and details regarding student pick-up and drop-off for car riders.
Open House:
DIS Open House will be on Monday, August 23 from 5-7pm. Our 6th grade parents will attend from 5-6pm and our 5th grade parents will attend from 6-7pm. When you arrive at Open House, please report to your child’s homeroom. Here you will receive your child’s schedule, have a chance to meet your teachers, walk the building and drop off supplies in lockers. Students are encouraged to attend along with parents. We will have our student leadership group, Demon Leaders, ready to assist parents who may need help navigating the building. Please remember to wear a mask! Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

This year school lunches will again be free thanks to federal funding. However, students will be charged for additional a la carte items.
