Movie Night - CANCELLED
Due to another storm that is coming tonight and Saturday, we have no choice but to cancel the Movie Night and the Robotics showcase tomorrow. However, the rescheduled date has not been finalized yet. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Parent Assistance Program
As you all know, the Parent Assistance Program is implemented as a means of obtaining parental support of all the activities necessary to enrich the school experience for its students and also to promote a strong ethic of volunteerism since actions are linked to good deeds. Additionally, we would like parents to be actively involved in the school as effective partners in our development and success.
Each DU family must complete a total of 20 hours. The first 10 hours need to be completed before the start of Winter
Break (by December 21). The next 10 hours need to be completed before the end of the school year (by May 24).
If however you are unable to fulfill any hours due to your busy schedule, you may opt out from this program by paying
the $200 fee by August 31. Please also know that parents will be charged $15 per hour for every hour that is not completed by the end of school year.

Cover Your Cough
Influenza (flu) and other serious respiratory illnesses are spread by cough, sneezing, or unclean hands. Please remind your child the followings to help stop the spread of germ. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or if you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands. Wash hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Practice other good health habits. Please clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, especially when someone is ill. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
