From the office of Mrs. Connie Porter, College & Career Readiness Counselor at DPS:
This is a reminder that seniors will meet in the High School Library at 11:50 on Wednesday, October 7th. The Financial Aid Program begins at 12 PM.
Students have received information on creating an FSA ID. After the presentation, students will create their FSA ID. Pizza, water & snacks will be provided to the students.
After the Financial Aid Program, students will work on college applications and look up information about those colleges. Students were sent a list of what information students will need to apply to colleges. High school transcripts will be available for students to use.
The afternoon of October 28th is a tentative date for a representative from EducationQuest to be at Deshler to help parents and students complete the FAFSA. These would be individual appointments. Please let MRS. PORTER know if you are interested in scheduling an appointment.
Mrs. Porter recently completed training to be a FAFSA coach so if October 28th does not work for you, let her know and she can assist you in completing the FAFSA.
REMINDER: Completing the FAFSA or signing the waiver are now required by the Department of Education as a graduation requirement!

Learning beginning sounds helps preschoolers build early language and literacy skills through playful interaction. In this activity students had the opportunity to use letter sound mats. Students identified the picture and then had to find the correct beginning sound letter that was associated with the picture.
