A Word from You Administrators
Dear Deep Run Families,
This Friday is Valentine's Day. We appreciate the kindness shown by students who wish to exchange cards or give small gifts. During social studies or science students will also have the opportunity to engage in a Kindness Week activity. It will be a wonderful opportunity to uplift kindness at DRES. We ask parents not to send in any food to share. We have a number of students with allergies. Thank you for your understanding.
The recent weather caused parent teacher conferences to be cancelled on Thursday, February 6th. Teachers will not be rescheduling these math conferences, but if you have a question about how your child is doing in math please reach out to their teacher.
Have a great week!
Kindly,
Nigel La Roche Jerome Pickens Colleen Golden

Student Attendance Matters
As we start a new year, we wanted to uplift the importance of students attending each and every day. Consistent student attendance supports learning and helps to build routines. For more information on student attendance please click here

Cold Weather Reminders
As we are fully moving into cold weather season, we wanted to remind you that students will still be going outside for recess. Please make sure you send your child to school with warm clothes. All clothing needs to be labeled with your child's name to prevent it from being lost.
Below you will find HCPSS criteria we consider when having outdoor activities:
- Temperature and humidity
- Wind chill
- Heat index and air quality
- Age of students
- Length of time outdoors
- Adequacy of the children’s clothing
- Condition of the playground
- Falling precipitation (more than a sprinkle or mist)
- Thunder and lightning
Generally, it is assumed that students will be outside for recess, physical education, or any other outdoor activity when the temperature combined with the wind chill is not less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit or the heat index reading is less than 95.
Thank you.
Recordatorios sobre el estado del tiempo frío
Amedida que nos acercamos al invierno y a los días más fríos, queríamos recordarles que los estudiantes continuarán saliendo al recreo en la mayoría de las ocasiones. Asegúrense de enviar a su estudiante a la escuela con ropa abrigada y prendas para adaptarse (para poder quitarse o ponerse). Cualquier prenda externa que se pueda quitar (abrigo, sudadera con capucha, gorra, etc.) debe estar etiquetada con el nombre de su estudiante.
Acontinuación, se incluyen los criterios del HCPSS que tenemos en cuenta al realizar actividades al aire libre:
- Temperatura y humedad
- Sensación térmica
- Índice de calor y calidad del aire
- Edad de los estudiantes
- Cantidad de tiempo al aire libre
- Adecuación de la ropa de los niños
- Estado del parque infantil
- Precipitación (más que una llovizna o neblina)
Truenos y relámpagos
Por lo general, se supone que los estudiantes estarán al aire libre para el recreo, educación física o cualquier otra actividad al aire libre cuando la temperatura combinada con la sensación térmica no sea inferior a 20 grados Fahrenheit o la lectura del índice de calor sea inferior a 95 grados Fahrenheit.
Gracias.
