DCPS Academic Looking Glass

The DCPS Academic Looking Glass is a newsletter that is produced bi-weekly to assist parents, principals, teachers, and district staff as a quick reference guide about what students are learning during a sliding two week window.

A note from our principal:

Parents will receive their log ins at the end of the 1st nine weeks and the portal will be available for them to view grades beginning the 2dn grading period.

Flu Like Symptons

Parents please be aware of flu like symptoms and keep your children home if they are sick. Students should only return to school after 24 hours fever free with no fever reducing medications. About 98% of all flu right now is in fact to be considered H1N1 (Swine Flu). Prevention through hand washing, proper etiquette for sneezing and coughing and staying home when sick is important. Please notify me if your child has a confirmed case – it can now be confirmed just through a doctor’s diagnosis. We are doing extra cleaning of common areas and special cleaning of classrooms. The good news: the virus can only live on surfaces for 2 hours. Stay healthy!!
