As we wrap up our October focus on Hygiene, we are looking beyond personal hygiene and thinking about the things and spaces we use every day.
Chromebooks, phones, water bottles, backpacks, desks, athletic equipment, headphones, and other frequently used items can collect plenty of germs along the way. Taking a few minutes to regularly clean our personal belongings and shared spaces is another simple way we can help keep ourselves and others healthy.
Clean it. Wash it. Don’t share it.
Thank you for helping us make wellness a priority throughout DPS #170. We hope our October reminders have provided a few simple ideas that can make a difference at school, at home, and throughout our community!
Healthy Minds 💜 Healthy Bodies 💜 Healthy Habits

As we wrap up National School Bus Safety Week, we want to thank our drivers and support staff. School buses are an important part of the educational experience. For many students, the school day begins and ends with a ride on a bus. When you include sporting events and extracurricular activities, some students can be on a bus 5-6 times a day.
School Bus safety is also a shared responsibility. To the drivers taking the students to/from school, the aides directing them on/off the bus, the people sharing important bus safety messages, and anyone in between, this appreciation post goes out to all of you.
