From the Principal's Desk
Dear Families:
Although the school year is ending we begin some wonderful summer programs at DVE. Summer school
begins July 7 and ends July 25. It is from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. daily. Camp Invention is July 21- July 25,
Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sumner Family Center has classes throughout July at DVE. Summer
lunch is served June 25-August 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the gym area.
At Daffodil Valley we ‘loop’ with our students. That means in some grades the student has the same teacher
for two years. We loop from first to second grade, and third to fourth grade. Kindergarten and fifth grade are
one year grades.
The road construction is complete and we have a beautiful new road in front of our school. Daffodil Court is
also wider. City of Sumner parking enforcement is working on helping us to keep our students safe. Please
pick up students in the pick up zone after school. Park your car in our parking lot and pick up your child from
the office if it is before school is out. For safety reasons we ask that you not pick up where the buses are parked. We have had some very close encounters with students and moving cars. Thank you for helping us to
keep all of our students safe.
School starts at 9:30 a.m. In the morning if you could have your “good-byes” said before that time the
teachers can start on their morning routines! The students and their teachers have lots of morning information
to get to the right people as soon as possible.
We are already looking forward to another great year next year!
