Attention Parents of 7-12 Grade Students: We are currently working to make sure Infinite Campus is showing student grades. At this time, teachers have been asked to withhold entering grades, so you will not see any grades for your 7-12 grade students. Please be patient as we find a solution.

Thank you to everyone for joining us for Back to School Night! As we look forward to the first day of school on Thursday, here is the bus route map. For the first week or so, you should be at your bus stop at 7:45 (unless you've heard differently from your bus driver). Students will be picked up between 7:45-8:00. As we work through the routes with drivers driving new routes and a new driver, we appreciate your patience. The pickup and drop-off times will be tightened up over the next couple of weeks, and your driver will be able to give you more exact times.

😎❤️🖤 The Future is Looking Bright! 🖤❤️😎 Staff are back in the building! We’ve got our 26–27 shades on and we’re ready for another great year at DPS!

Attention DPS Bus Riders and Families! We are finalizing the bus routes and schedules for our first day of school next Thursday! Woohoo! We will be running two out-of-town bus routes and a couple loops of in-town bus routes. Instead of picking up at individual houses in town, you will be assigned a bus stop. This will help decrease our riders' time on the bus. Your driver will be in touch shortly with your pick up times. We can't wait to see you next week!
