A Message from the Principals

Good Evening DYI families,

Open House is an exciting night for everyone. We hope you were able to attend, meet your child’s teacher and see your child’s classroom. If you could not join us, please click the link to the Open House Presentation below. A shout out to our student ambassadors who helped you get to your child’s classroom.

This is a very brief newsletter. It just contains much of the information we shared tonight, including the presentation in the auditorium. While you were asked to remember many things tonight, we definitely want you to mark your calendars for Thursday, September 25. We have our first ever Family Fun event where families will get a chance to meet the other families from your child’s classroom. When students come to our new school, families often do not know each other unless they are from the same school. This is our chance to change that feeling.

Save the date for the 25th. More details to come!

Please read below so your child does not forget their jammies, you sign the student handbook and you are ready for Picture Day!


Sincerely,


Mr. Blake, Dr. Greeson, and Mrs. Cleary

PJammin with Cancer


PJammin with Cancer is a fundraising and awareness program run by the American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO). During a PJammin event, participants wear pajamas to school or work to show solidarity with children who are battling cancer. Students and staff can wear their Pajamas on Friday, September 19th and we are asking for donations of $1 or more!
