This week's senior of the week...STORMI CAPEK!
Stormi is driven, kind, stands up for what is right, and is very loyal to her many activities...This girl is going to do big things!
Stormi will be playing BB tonight and be recognized for earning her state FFA degree as well - her hard work and dedication will be missed next year at DPS!
It was another week of sharing and hard work by our staff and school board.
Wednesday was our inservice and prep for our upcoming external evaluation (March 13th and 14th) as well as our second informational meeting on our proposed building project (ballots due March 12th). Read more at:

The week of February 5th is National School Counseling Week, and DPS is fortunate to have two staff members in our counselor's office that we are very thankful for!
Mrs. Stacie Heldt is our guidance counselor and Mrs. Hannah Kane is our youth outreach specialist who assists Mrs. Heldt in many ways. These two have guidance lessons with preschool through middle school; have started the aRise Up, Character Kids, and Lair Leaders' groups; recognized Students of the Week; and helped tremendously with our MTSS process, as well as hosting student-centered events such as the Poverty Simulation, Lunch N Learn with community leaders, and FAFSA completion for our seniors.
We are lucky to have you, Mrs. Heldt & Mrs. Kane...thank you for all that you do!
