What a Great First Friday

Today we had a great First Friday! Thank you so much to Tara Canaday and the PTO for sponsoring this wonderful day. What awesome support we had from parents, grandparents, and the community. Every student was given a "Proud to be a Raider" t-shirt! Thanks PTO! come out and support our Raiders for their first football game this evening at 7:30 here at the Academy.

Dismissal Safety

Today we asked the Sheriff's department to come and monitor traffic on the highway during dismissal for safety. 300 students were dismissed yesterday and today and loaded safely in less than 15 minutes. That is an awesome feat!

Please be patient. Loading will go faster each day as students and parents get used to these procedures. The loading in the past has been dangerous for our students and we are working hard to ensure the student's safety. This will take patience as we work out this process. Please give us a week to get the student's used to these new procedures.

Thank you.

First Friday Field Day

K4 thru 8th graders.....Don't forget about DA's First Friday Field Day this Friday!
PTO will be providing a hotdog lunch with chips & a cookie. Each child will receive a DA T-shirt. Your student may get wet and a change of clothing and sunscreen would be a good idea.
Bring your pennies for Pennies for a Purpose. The pennies will be counted towards the team score.
