We had a nice turn out for our first PTA meeting of the night! They discussed our new partnership attendance initiative, how to help promote successful sleep routines, and what the PTA does for our school. It is going to be a great year at DES!

Every day counts!

Attending school regularly ensures that our children are participating in lessons, and engaging with their peers and teachers.
