A note from the Principal...May 24, 2018
Dear DeKeyser families,
It's
hard to believe we are turning the corner toward the end of the school
year! The Parent Input Forms mentioned in the last What's Happening at
the "D" are still available in the front office. They are due on June
1st. Because of planning for next year, late forms are not accepted.
If you know your child will not be returning to DeKeyser, that is also helpful to know for planing purposes.
Last
Friday was our annual Spring Fling fundraiser. Dancing, silent auction,
a basket raffle, and Oreos! It was a fun night! Check out the pictures
in this newsletter. Thank you to the families and staff who supported
our school at the Spring Fling. A special thank you to the businesses in
the community who donated.
This is the final week for the 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade M-Step testing. The NWEA MAP testing window will continue until June 8th.
One
last reminder, with the sun being out more, if you would like your
child to have sun-screen on at recess, please apply in the morning
before school. :)
With gratitude,
