Important Change to DPM School Day Hours
Beginning this school year, we have made a 10 minute adjustment to the start and end of the Deer Path school day. Our bus routes run back-to-back with our elementary schools, so by leaving the elementary school hours the same and changing the Deer Path hours slightly, we allow more time to ensure that DPM bus riders arrive at school in a consistent and timely manner.
The DPM school day will now run from 8:45am-3:45pm.

5th Grade Device Deployment
Incoming 5th graders will be receiving a District issued device as an educational resource. This year we have a new process for distributing devices to 5th grade students in partnership with a parent. The focus of this time will be for students and their parent to become acclimated with the 1:1 device and to explore how it can transform future ready learning in District 67. Students and
one
(1) parent/guardian should attend together.
Plan to spend approximately one hour with us in The Cube at DPM. Please start by selecting the time frame that best fits your schedule. Once you click your time frame, there will be specific time slots available to choose from for your arrival time. There is a maximum of 15 appointments per time slot:
Tuesday, Aug 13 : 8:00am - 11:00am
Wednesday, Aug. 14 : 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Thursday, Aug. 22 : 7:40am - 10:40am
