🚗 Morning Drop-Off Reminder – Logsdon Lane Trial Run 🚗
Thank you again, DPS families, for your continued patience and cooperation as we work through our Logsdon Lane drop-off trial. We wanted to share a few important reminders to help keep mornings safe and smooth for everyone:
⏰ 7:55 AM – Logsdon Lane Drop-Off Closes
At exactly 7:55 AM, the barricade will go up on Logsdon Lane. At this point, no additional drop-off will take place, as staff must be inside the building to support all students and prepare for our morning assembly.
🚪 8:00 AM – Front Entrance Reopens
At 8:00 AM, the front entrance will reopen for students who arrive late. Families will need to park and walk their student into the office.
⚠️ Front Loop Closure Reminder
During winter break, the chain that normally blocks the front loop was accidentally damaged. While we work to have it repaired and reinstalled, we are using green safety men to indicate that the front loop is closed.
👉 Please do not drive around or move the green safety men.
If they are still in place, families will need to park on the street and walk their student to the office.
🚗 Important Drop-Off Expectations
Please use Logsdon Lane for morning drop-off.
If you will not make it to Logsdon Lane drop-off loop by 7:55 AM, please go directly to the front of the building, park, and walk your student in.
We have seen an increase in front-loop drop-offs, which leads to confusion and frustration. Consistency is key to keeping everyone safe.
Thank you for continuing to work with us during this trial period. Your support truly helps us create a safe and orderly start to each school day.
📩 If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mr. Rickabaugh, DPS Principal.
🐾 Together, every step, every paw.

🩺 Health Reminder for DPS Families 🩺
As we prepare to welcome students back into the building tomorrow, we want to share an important health reminder with our school community. We are currently seeing an increase in flu-like illnesses, especially following holiday travel.
Please take a moment to review the attached flu information flyer and help us keep everyone safe and healthy. If your child is not feeling well or is experiencing flu symptoms, we ask that they stay home until they are symptom-free and fever-free for 24 hours without medication.
The Flu has arrived
We truly appreciate your partnership in:
✔️ Keeping sick students home
✔️ Practicing good hand hygiene
✔️ Supporting healthy habits like rest, hydration, and nutrition
Together, we can help reduce the spread and keep our DPS community learning and thriving. Thank you for your continued support and care for one another 💙🐾

✨ A Huge Thank You, DPS Families! ✨
We want to express our sincere appreciation for how smoothly the transition to our Logsdon Lane drop-off and pick-up trial run has gone this week. Our parents and families have been absolutely incredible—flexible, patient, and supportive every step of the way. Your partnership truly makes all the difference. 🐾❤️
After reflecting on our first few days, we will be making one small adjustment starting Monday, December 15th:
⏰ The drop-off loop will now close at exactly 7:55 AM. (Instead of 7:58 AM)
This ensures that our staff can be inside the building with students for our morning assembly and ready to start the day on time.
We know mornings can get busy, and we appreciate everyone doing their best to arrive before 7:55. When staff need to close the loop while families are still arriving, it can be challenging. So this clear, consistent closing time will help us keep routines smooth and safe for all students.
Thank you again for your continued support, patience, and positivity during this trial run. Our DPS community is something special. 🐻💙
