Early Dismissal Drill TODAY - Dismissal at 2:15pm


Students will be dismissing early today. Walkers will need to be picked up at 2:15 at the front door of the bus garage. Mrs. Odell will be there to release your child. All bus riders will depart around 2:20, after walkers have been dismissed. Please plan for your child to arrive home approximately 15-20 minutes earlier than usual. In addition, this will be a test of our all-call system. As many of you are fully aware, Tuesday evening we had multiple, late night phone calls that went out due to a glitch in our system. We apologize for those late-night calls. They have assured us the issue has been resolved and it will not happen again. We greatly appreciate your understanding with that!


Dear Parents/Guardians,
Tomorrow Friday, October 13th, DCS will hold its annual early release drill. Once again, this year it will be coupled with an evacuation drill. The details are as follows:
At 2:00 pm, students will evacuate the building and proceed to the bus loop for attendance.
After attendance is taken, students will move to the bus garage to shelter in place.
At 2:15, walkers may be picked up by parents/guardians at the front door of the bus garage. Mrs. Odell will be there with students to release them.
After all walkers have been dismissed, bus riding students along with self-transport students, will depart directly from the bus garage.
Students may return to campus for normal after school activities (sports practice).
An all-call will take place the morning of October 13th to remind parents of the drill and to test the all-call system. If you do not receive a call that day, please contact the principal’s office at 607-363-2111.
