Dermott School District

PARENTS, as of today, June 2, 2021, I have 50 graphing calculators that have NOT been turned in. These calculators were signed out to all students who took a math course in grades 7-12, Virtual or on-site. The intent was that all math students would have access to a calculator at school and at home. However, because so many calculators have not been returned, next school term students may be responsible for getting their own calculators. Please ask your child about his/her calculator and have them return it to Ms. Jordan by tomorrow, June 3, 2021. Thanks in advance for your support🧡🖤‼

Parents, The DSD would like to inform you that we are aware of the water situation that is scheduled to take place in the city tomorrow, May 12th. We will collaborate with the City of Dermott and Mayor Donald with updates throughout the day. If we have to dismiss school, we will inform you in a timely manner. According to the City of Dermott's Facebook page, the water well at the city shop will be offline all day tomorrow to allow the contractor to move the controls to a new location. The city does not anticipate any pressure problems, but to be on the safe side, you may want to fill up a few containers of water. The moving of the controls should be completed by the close of business day at the city tomorrow. Again, the DSD will be open and we will keep you updated. #TheSchoolAndTheCityWorkingTogether #PleaseShare 🧡🖤🐏
