Good Evening Cavalier Families,
Thank you for your incredible support and participation in Random Act of Kindness Week. It was wonderful to see our students leading the way by choosing kindness, compassion, and gratitude each day. We are also deeply grateful for the continued support and kindness you extend to our teachers and staff, who work tirelessly for all students. As we move forward, we are reminded that kindness is not just something we celebrate for one week or encourage only in our children, but something we model as adults everyday. Even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference, and together we can make the world a better place, one kind deed at a time.

Internet Safety Lessons (for 3rd-5th Grade) Mrs. Robertson will be collaborating with the Spring Hill District Resource Officers, Deputy Pechnick, Deputy Ramos, and Deputy Brown, to deliver Internet Safety Lessons to each 3rd-5th Grade class in March. For your reference, here is a link to the designated resource, Netsmartz, which will be utilized during these instructional sessions. Parents can also access several supplementary resources on the website. While the lessons are thoughtfully tailored to the age appropriateness of the students, we acknowledge the sensitivity of the topic for some children. Should you wish to opt your child out of this lesson, kindly communicate your preference by emailing Mrs. Robertson at robertsona@usd230.org or your child's classroom teacher.

ALLERGIES
As a part of the enrollment process, the school nurse will make sure that all student health files are updated and that all students with medically documented allergies have an alert on skyward. Prior to the start of school, each teacher will receive a notification, from the nurse, that lists all students in their class who have reported allergies.
If a student has a reported allergy, the staff shall take reasonable steps to eliminate exposure to the allergen during the school day. If a student is inadvertently exposed to an allergen, the teacher and/or staff member shall contact the nurse immediately and follow emergency protocol for allergen exposure.
Kindly review our Elementary Handbook 2025-2026

Empowered to LEAD: Our Cavaliers had a great time with a fun spirit week filled with activities on spreading kindness! They painted rocks with designs that inspire compassion, positivity, and encouragement. This week, our Student Lighthouse Team will be organizing the collected rocks and officially open the Kindness Rock Garden, where every DCES community member can take one for inspiration, share one for motivation, or leave one to help our garden grow.

Your presence made the evening a wonderful celebration of the meaningful connections that strengthen our school community.
A special thank you to our amazing PTO for organizing such a memorable event and making the night such a success! |
