Good Morning! Get those lunch order forms in today! Last week we missed the post.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Basketball schedule change for Thursday—5/6 grade and 7/8 grade will play @ West Valley.

The home basketball games for tonight have been cancelled.

Parents and Families,
This morning, our Deer Park family experienced a great loss. A terrible accident occured and there was a house fire at the home of Jeff and Miriam Watts. Tragically Jeff, and Miriam’s father were trapped inside. This is devastating to all of us as Jeff was a beloved member of our staff. We are sending this notice out to you to give yourselves and your children a chance to process this news before school tomorrow. We are attempting to make it as normal as possible, but we realize that there will be some pivots in the day as needed. To help minimize some of these pivots, we will have counselors available for anyone who may need to talk. We encourage you to focus on how we can help our students and support Miriam.Thank you for being such a close community as we are all grieving and working through this together.

A quick reminder that lunch order forms are due this week. Thanks so much, have a great Friday!

If you attended the Harvest Carnival this past Saturday and took pictures, would you please share them, by emailing watts@deerparkedu.org? We had such a wonderful response that we were unable to catch any special moments. Thank you in advance!

Happy November!! It is time to fill out those lunch orders again. This will be for the weeks 11/15 - 11/26. I hope you all have an amazing day.

Update! There was a typo on the basketball schedule. The game against Marion is tomorrow, not today.
