We loved spending time with Dale, Sofia, and their mom tonight. Sofia wants to be a singer when she grows up and Dale is still deciding what he wants to be. #WeAreDES #DESMoments

Happy World Mental Health Day! We are so thankful for our DES Staff! #WeAreDES


Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school year for any reason negatively affects a student's academic performance. At DES, we know attendance matters. Our Knights had a great first week of October. All grade levels had above 90% attendance for the week.


Thank you, Ms. Stewart, for helping our students gain confidence and believe in themselves! #DESMoments #WeAreDES


We loved spending time with the Reno family tonight during our driveway visit! When they grow up Carter wants to be a police officer, Ivey wants to be the President, and Hunter is still trying to decide. #WeAreDES #DESDrivewayVisits


First graders played Capture the Square during centers today in math. So much joy!! #WeAreDES
