National School Choice Week
Last week, DCS celebrated National School Choice Week. What is NSCW you ask? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently, which is why here at DCS we create curriculum that caters to the needs of OUR students!
Watch and listen why students, staff, and families chose US as their school of choice!

We will begin our next raffle event for September: Football Fantasy: Falcon Edition (NO MONEY IS INVOLVED)!
Every year, DCS holds a student vs staff football game to celebrate the beginning of football. Unfortunately, we cannot have that this year, but we decided to host a modified football fantasy competition beginning this Friday, until Friday, October 2nd . We encourage parents to help students pick their choices!
Students will receive a link to the survey, written instructions, and a video on how to complete the survey on Ms. Zaca's google classroom and Ms. Diaz's google classroom tonight. The rules to this game are different from a normal football fantasy game.
Submissions need to be turned in every Friday, by 4 pm.
We also encourage students to wear Football shirts, jersey's beanies, jackets, anything football related (and school appropriate) every Friday until October 2nd, for 5 nest points!
