Des Arc School District

💚 National Girls & Women in Sports Day 💚
Today we celebrate our 7th–12th grade female athletes and the impact they make every single day—on the court, the field, and beyond.

These young women represent the very best of our school through their hard work, dedication, and commitment to being great teammates and leaders. Sports continue to be a powerful platform for building confidence, resilience, and leadership, and we are proud of the way our athletes embrace those lessons.
We also honor the women who paved the way before them and those who continue to open doors for the next generation.

So proud of our girls and the way they represent our school! 🦅💚

Reminders of upcoming dates this month:

Feb. 12 - Parent/teacher conferences at both campuses from 2:00 - 6:00
*Students will dismiss at the following times this day:
PK- 12:45
DES - 1:00
DAHS - 1:15

Feb. 13 & 16 - NO SCHOOL

All Des Arc School buses will run normal routes in the morning except for Mrs Sarah. She has contacted her parents.

From snow days to making a difference.... EAST students are back at work creating hype chains, focus fidgets, Glowforge stencils, and service projects that support the Ronald McDonald House! We can't wait to share our progress!

We just have to give huge shout-outs to Mrs. Sunny Morton and Mrs. Rachel Ladner for being the BEST school counselors. "Thank you for ALL that you do!"💚

Des Arc Schools will be on regular schedule in the morning. Due to the still remaining ice on some roads, we will have to run a few snow routes.
Bus 16/Mrs. Joanne will run the same snow route as today but the meeting time at the Sand Hill FD will be at 7:15.
Bus 18/Mrs. Wrigley will run the same snow route as today with the first stop being at 6:45
Bus 19/ Mrs Donna Jean and Bus 15/ Mrs Sarah have contacted their parents.
Bus 20/Mr Tim and bus 16/Mr. Baker will run normal routes in the morning.

After calculating our time missed from school last week, we are going to be required to make up one hour of instructional time. We are going to make this up on March 20th.  We are scheduled to dismiss at Pre-K-11:45, DES-12:00 and DHS 12:15.  We will now dismiss an hour later.  Pre-K- 12:45, DES-1:00 and DHS 1:15.  Any days missed from here on out will have to be made up. 

Des Arc Schools will run the same snow routes this afternoon as were used this morning. If your student was picked up at an alternate location, please be at that location at 3:35 p.m. for the afternoon drop off.
