Prek will not have school Monday, May 22nd.
Lastly, we are asking for donations of bottled water for our end of the year events! Students are extra thirsty as the weather is getting warmer and we have a few outside events planned. We appreciate any donation, no matter how small! Thank you!

The second Friday in May is National School Communicators Day! A school communicator is one who assists schools and districts in telling their story. Today we are celebrating all of our #TeamSCPS storytellers: from our designated staff photographers, webmasters and social media managers in each school to the administrators developing communication plans and strategies. You are all critical to our mission, goals and keeping our community informed. Thank you! Happy #SchoolCommunicatorsDay!!

Ladies and Gentlemen! I introduce to you our 2023 Field Day for Deal Island!!
We are having multiple activities all day long! We are also having our Scholastic Book Fair this week as well and it'll will be open during the day for families to shop. Students have assigned color tops to wear based on grade level. 5th-Gray, 4th-Green, 3rd-Purple, 2nd-Red, 1st is Blue and Prek/K is yellow. We also ask students send in their sunscreen and bug spray to be re-applied during the school day. Most activities finish around 2 pm and breaks are built into the schedule. If you bring any small family members or non-DIS students, we just ask that you monitor those children at all times. Thank you!


2023 Graduating Seniors that attended Deal Island Elementary School are welcome to come down and parade the school and be celebrated by our current students.


Happy Birthday to all of our May student Birthdays!
