Attention DHS Students and Parents:
Next week, temperatures are expected to be extremely low and potentially dangerous (in single digits with windchill temps possibly below zero). Please ensure students dress appropriately for the weather, including wearing coats, hats, and gloves.
Additionally, students should not arrive at school before 7:15 a.m., as the doors will not open until then (there is very little staff here at that time). Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.
