And the NEW...8th Grade Boys Basketball District Champions... Your Strickland VIKINGS!!

We will be providing meals for our students beginning TUESDAY, MARCH 17. A student ID is NOT required. The meals will be served "Carry-Out" style to discourage congregating. Please use the cafeteria entrance at each campus. See the graphic below for times and locations.

Food service delivery begins today! If you see one of our yellow buses in your neighborhood then know lunch is on the way for our kids. Please click on dentonisd.org/meals to see when and where the buses will be delivering.

SMS Students, we MISS YOU! Be on the lookout for your teacher's trying to connect with you through platforms such as your school gmail, google classroom, instagram, etc. Our teachers are committed to overcoming these current obstacles and helping us all make the best of it!

Reminder: Beginning Wednesday, March 25, meal service at all 15 locations and via bus delivery will include two meals. The once per day carry-out, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., will include lunch and breakfast for the following day. The morning breakfast service will be discontinued.

In an abundance of caution and to maintain social distancing, Denton ISD is closing playgrounds and outdoor activity areas surrounding our campuses effective March 24. Our goal is to discourage congregating and avoid large gatherings of children to prevent the spread of COVID-19

When it comes to reforming our criminal justice system, protesting is important. And pairing it with voting is the best way to create lasting change. Make sure you and everybody you know is registered to vote at whenweallvote.org/register.

The COVID-19 closures have turned the world upside down for a lot of people. Many have become unemployed and don’t know where to turn. If you haven’t thought about Free and Reduced lunch benefits for your school-age children, now might be the time. youtu.be/_dTG_wxd2X8
