Here is our new DIS vocabulary words of the week! In an effort to improve our vocabulary usage across all grade levels, we have created these vocabulary cards for our school and families to use at home and in the classroom. We encourage you each week to try to incorporate our DIS word(s) of the week into your conversations at home. This week's words are inspired by the Disney movie "Mary Poppins". Thank you for your continued effort in supporting our students' education!
Happy Birthday to our students born in October!
We are having a movie & snack cart to benefit the United Way on Thursday. Treats will be 50 cents to $1. We are closed on Friday, the 20th. We are still looking for trunk volunteers and candy donations. Please let Mrs. Walters know if you are willing to decorate a trunk by Thursday. Flu shot forms due before November 1
Attention Parents and Guardians, We only have 41% of students that have their forms completely filled out online. New students to the school should also check the returning students tab to complete forms there as well.
Some impacts of not having forms completed:
- We do not have emergency medical information on record or consent to treatment in an emergency
- Families may not correctly receive phone, email, or physical mail correspondence
- Students may not be included in the yearbook or honor roll
- Families in need may miss out on opportunities for support
- Grant funding to our schools may be impacted by incomplete data
October 30th-November 3rd, we will be celebrating National Red Ribbon Week. This is a national campaign aimed at promoting a drug free, healthy lifestyle for students, families, and the community. As we strive to educate our students on the importance of healthy lifestyle choices, we also emphasize one’s responsibility to treat others with respect. During that week, our school will be hosting a school spirit week to promote our campaign. The schedule of events is as follows: Monday (10/30)- “My Future is Too Bright for Drugs." (Students can wear neon colored clothing and/or sunglasses) Tuesday (10/31)- “You Can’t See Me, I’m Drug Free” (Students can wear camouflage clothing. Because this is the end of the month, students may dress casual even if they choose not to wear camouflage) Wednesday (11/1)- “Drugs are WACKY! I’d Rather Dress Tacky." (Students are encouraged to dress in tacky, gaudy clothing) Thursday (11/2)- "You use, You Lose! Let’s stay on the Winning Team." (Wear your favorite team shirt) Friday 11/3- “Follow Your Dreams, Not Drugs." (Students may wear their PJs) *If students choose not to participate, they should come to school in their normal uniform. *If you have any questions or concerns related to the information in this letter, please contact Mrs. Horner at the school.Thank you.

Prekindergarten students (3 & 4) are celebrating pajama day tomorrow, Friday October 6th! They can wear their pajamas and maybe bring their favorite stuffed animal. If families still want to donate a $1 for a casual day for a family in need, it would still be appreciated. Prek students only!
We will have a casual day on Friday, October 6th to support a SCPS family who suffered a tragic loss. Students can pay $1 to dress casual. We encourage them to wear their favorite team shirt, jersey or team colors (especially orange & black for the Orioles)! Thank you!
