Construction crews are making great progress on the 18+ Program Facility on Sawyer Ranch Road, next to the Sycamore Springs campuses! This week, the DSISD Board of Trustees toured the facility to see the progress firsthand. Approved by voters as part of the 2023 Bond, the project continues to take shape. Window installation is complete, roofing is nearing completion, and crews are currently installing HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. The project is projected to be completed in late December. We look forward to seeing this new space come together to better serve our 18+ Program students!

National School Bus Safety Week is recognized each October to highlight one shared priority: keeping students safe on and around school buses. Safety is a shared responsibility! Here’s how you can help keep our students safe:
Parents: Talk to your kids about bus safety! Remind them to stand 3 giant steps back from the curb, make eye contact with the driver before crossing, and never walk behind a school bus.
Drivers: Slow down near bus stops and on neighborhood roads. Remember: yellow flashing lights mean prepare to stop, and red flashing lights with an extended stop arm mean STOP - it's the law.

This month, we celebrate our DSISD principals and the leadership, dedication and heart they bring to our campuses every day!
From morning greetings and hallway high-fives to big decisions and problem-solving, our principals wear many hats to keep their campus moving forward. They play an important role in fostering academic success while also helping students build confidence, character and a love of learning.
THANK YOU, PRINCIPALS, for all you do for our students, staff and community!

School attendance matters! Every day spent in the classroom is an opportunity for growth, learning, and connection. As we begin Attendance Awareness Month, we want to remind our families that regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. Being at school helps students achieve greater academic achievement, build responsibility and strong time-management habits, strengthen social skills, and develop friendships. Please follow the district calendar when planning family vacations and appointments so our students can make the most of every day at school. #EveryDayCounts
