🐉💜 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MRS. AMBER JOHNSON! 💛📚
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mrs. Amber Johnson, our 6th–12th grade intervention teacher! ✏️✨
Mrs. Johnson plays an important role in helping our middle and high school Dragons navigate challenges, build skills, and find success in their learning. By meeting students where they are, offering extra support, and encouraging them to keep growing, she helps remind our students that everyone’s path to success looks a little different! We’re grateful for the patience, encouragement, and dedication Mrs. Johnson brings to our school community.
Thank you for helping our Dragons build confidence, overcome obstacles, and continue to Challenge, Grow, and Excel! 💜💛🐉

Inservice last week included staff painting their Marzano clipboards for instructional rounds...and this week includes admin getting certified in Boys Town. The shared leadership and teamwork continues to grow at DPS!










October is Manufacturing Month...DPS sixth graders toured MetalQuest and plan to tour Reinke Manufacturing LLC next - to see careers close to home plus the need for trades and problem solving skills!






Being kind matters...And these elementary kids just did that! We had a great time celebrating good behavior with Popcorn with the Principal because of the kindness they continue to show!


It's RED RIBBON WEEK for our elementary students! Please note that for FRIDAY, K-5 students will come to school in regular clothes & change into their costumes after lunch/recess. 6-12 may wear costumes BUT they should not wear inflatable ones or masks, must be school appropriate, etc.
