Let’s get reading, Panthers 💙💛

💙 It’s OK to Be Different 💙
Today our staff wore blue to celebrate inclusion and remind our students that it’s okay to be different. Every learner brings unique strengths that make our school community better.

Together we continue to build a school where everyone belongs.

❤️ LOVE IS IN THE AIR AT DENNIS CHAVEZ! ❤️

From heart sweaters and festive socks to sweet treats and even sweeter smiles, our school is filled with joy this Valentine’s Day! 💕

We are so grateful for the incredible staff who bring heart to everything they do and for the students who make our campus such a special place to learn and grow.

Today we celebrate kindness, friendship, teamwork, and the love that makes our school community so strong. 💗

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Our Panthers love reading…
And we do too! 💕📖

This week our halls are filled with hearts — and every single one shares a reason why reading matters.

The love of reading is alive and well at DCES! 🐾💗

Today was Panther Store Day! 🐾💙💛

Our Panthers cashed in their Panther Paws for prizes after being caught being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful around campus.

There’s nothing better than watching students proudly spend what they’ve earned through positive choices and strong character.

We love celebrating our Panthers! 🐾✨
