The District Calendar Committee is seeking feedback for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 Academic Calendars. As part of the calendar creation and adoption process, the calendar options are being shared with staff, families and community to collect feedback that will assist in the final decision-making process. To provide feedback please:

(1) Review the different calendar options. The district has created a Cross Calendar Comparison that compares the key dates within each set of options. They have also created a Calendars at a Glance document for you to see all of the options for that set of calendars.

Please take a few minutes to complete the Calendar Feedback Survey. In the survey, you will be separately ranking the options for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years.

The feedback collected from the survey will be used to help the Calendar Committee select the most palatable calendars that will be presented to the DCSD Board of Education for approval and adoption.

The link for the survey is below:

Please complete the survey by Sunday, March 31 at 11:59 p.m.

With consideration of the pending Spring storm, we wanted to share that the Book Fair will be closing at 2:30pm today. It was originally scheduled to be open later tonight and tomorrow as well, but with the possibility of the forecasted heavy snow, you may want to do any final shopping today!

Additionally, please be sure to keep an eye on your email and voicemail for weather updates over the next couple of days. I'm sure the district is already watching the storm progression closely. You can find weather updates on the DCSD website at www.dcsdk12.org

Stay warm and safe!

Due to the continuing weather and poor driving conditions, the Mother/Son Nerf event scheduled for tonight is being postponed. More information will be forthcoming regarding the reschedule date for the event.

Stay home and stay warm and safe!
