Each concession item (hotdogs, drinks, chips, and snowcones) will cost $1 each. PAWS asks for cash only, small bills, and exact change to help our evening go smoothly. We are also accepting donations of wrapped candy and wrapped desserts to be used as prizes for our cake walk. These can be dropped off at our front office through Thursday, October 24.

In Mr. Allred’s science class, students are learning about classification of biotic and abiotic organisms. Students researched different organisms from simple, single-celled creatures to complex creatures consisting of eukaryotic cells. They are considering vertebrates and invertebrates, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and then further classifying them into groups based on various phenotypes. They love learning and sharing what they know!









The deadline for our third grade students proof of residency (home address) has been extended!

DPS Staff – Please keep an eye out for upcoming communication from your school principal regarding your plans.

On September 30th, DPS will proudly participate in GA Reads Day, a celebration of reading across the state. This year, we’re inspired by Georgia’s reading coach, Malcolm Mitchell, who not only overcame literacy challenges but also became a star football player, an author of children's books, and the founder of the Share the Magic Foundation.
PAWS will celebrate with a Reading Rally assembly for the entire school at 9:00 AM. Students are asked to wear their favorite Georgia gear--this can include professional or college sports teams, Georgia destinations, Dalton gear, or even their favorite Peanuts gang gear! We will all turn the page to a brighter future as we read for 26 minutes on this day in honor of Malcolm Mitchell’s UGA jersey number!


On Friday, October 25, 2024 from 5:30-7:30 PAWS will host a fun family fundraiser and math family night called Block Party @ the 405!
