✂️🏫 A special first day for some of our new Bison educators!

DCR1 has several teachers beginning their first year in the classroom, and we wanted to celebrate this exciting milestone with them! To congratulate them and wish them luck for the school year, each new teacher got to officially “cut the ribbon” on their very own classroom grand opening. 🎉

We’re excited to watch these educators grow and make an impact on our students this year!

Important Traffic Update for Mallory Elementary for the New School Year!

To improve the safety and efficiency of student arrival and dismissal, we have updated our parent pick-up and drop-off traffic pattern for the upcoming school year.

📍 Parent pick-up and drop-off will now take place at the Annex circle drive. The main circle drive will no longer be used for traffic. It will be a visitor's only zone.

Please take a moment to review the attached traffic map before the first day of school. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to provide a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal process for all of our students.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
