Tomorrow will be another NTI day (DCPS@Home Day 9). A folder with PreK–5 Day 9 packets is attached for anyone who would like to print the packet. Please note that printing is not required—students will only need a pencil and a piece of paper when they log in with their teachers.

We know this may be inconvenient, and our Hornet community is eager to return to in person learning! Our students did a fantastic job being online and ready to learn today! Thank you for supporting your learner from home!

We look forward to seeing everyone online tomorrow at 9:00 AM. 🐝💛

Dear Highland Families,


We are eager to welcome our students back into the building; however, the weather is not cooperating as we had hoped. As a result, Wednesday, February 4 will be a DCPS@Home learning day (Day #8).
Please note that students do not have Day 8 materials in their folders. Day 8 materials can be accessed using the following link:
https://sites.google.com/daviess.kyschools.us/dcpsathome/home


Students should log into Google Meet at 9:00 a.m. to receive instruction from their teachers. Day 8 materials may be printed at home, or students may complete their work using their own paper. As a reminder, students will have five school days after returning to in-person learning to complete any DCPS@Home assignments.


To make access easier, we have created a folder containing Day 8 packets for grades PreK–5. You may select the appropriate grade level and print the materials or use them as a reference.

We understand that days like this can sometimes be confusing, and we truly appreciate your patience and flexibility. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office if you need assistance.

Good evening HES families,
Fortunately the road conditions have improved enough throughout the day that we can go IN PERSON tomorrow, Wednesday, December 3. We urge you to use caution during morning travel, as low temperatures could create spots of black ice and some overpasses may be less than perfect. HES prioritizes safety, and we are excited to see our students tomorrow. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Good morning! We have been informed that Spectrum is experiencing a widespread outage. If you are unable to access the internet, please don’t worry—your child may complete the Day 1 packet and return it to their teacher for full attendance. As always, you are welcome to contact the school or your child’s teacher through Talking Points, and we will navigate this together.
For those who are able to access the internet and get logged into their Google meets, we will see you at 9AM.
