Through our hardworking remote teachers (Mr. Barker, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Reeder, and Mr. Baker) and their ability to successfully juggle many things (as evidenced by the 3 screens pictured), our students have had the opportunity to receive an excellent education even at home!
Students working hard with Mrs. Kelly in Title 1 to close learning gaps in reading and math. Keep up the great work!
Students have enjoyed the beautiful winter weather and snow outside as they have returned. The trees in the distance look beautiful! Students, did you know that the beautiful ice on the trees is called rime ice? Read more here...

We continue to utilize Fridays to give students extra help and close learning gaps. Our paraprofessionals have done an incredible job helping students in Zoom sessions as well as in person! Pictured is Mrs. Mey reviewing prime factorization with a group of students.
Students enjoying their breakfast in our new makeshift socially distanced cafeteria space. Students have really enjoyed the smaller, quieter environments!
Students play some socially distanced hockey. With several pucks going, students have lots of chances to hone their hand eye coordination and have a lot of fun. We'll let the NHL know coaches Bond and Thorpe have found a better way to play hockey! :)
Mrs. Lauer's class strumming away in Ms. Angle's music class as they learn musical concepts and starting to sound pretty good!
Beginning next week, Grab & Go Meals will be distributed from 9-11 am on Mondays and Wednesdays. This allows our paraprofessionals time to work with students prior to the meal distribution. Meals can be picked up at Washington, Jefferson, Madison/Reagan, and Lincoln School.
DPS170: Clarification- Elementary students will return on 1-4-2021, Monday through Thursday, with remote learning on Friday. Sorry for the confusion.
