DISMISSAL CHANGES
The office must be notified of all dismissal changes by 2:30 PM. We truly appreciate the communication you share with teachers, but there are additional steps that need to be completed in the office.

RTI Begins Monday, September 30

Starting Monday, DBE will launch RTI (Response to Intervention), a school-wide initiative designed to support every student’s reading growth. All students will take part in reading activities tailored to their individual needs.

RTI will take place daily at 8:15 a.m., so it’s important that students arrive on time to take full advantage of this valuable academic support.
