Week of April 23, 2018


Online Scheduler for Assessment Day:
The online scheduler for our assessment day on May 11th opens today. The scheduler will close on May 3rd. To set an appointment with your child's teacher, please visit our website ihe.dcsdk12.org. From the home page, navigate to Parent Resources > Online Scheduler



This will take you to the online scheduler page. Choose Iron Horse from the drop down menu. 

Once you have chosen Iron Horse, you will need to enter your student's ID number (same as their lunch number) and the password: engineer. At this point, you will be able to select a date and time for your child's conference. Please call Janet Nolan in the office if you experience any issues. 

**If one of your students is being assessed by Kari Dunn and they have siblings, you will need to sign up in the Online Scheduler and via the sign up genius that was sent home yesterday.

THE MAY SAC MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Elections for Chair and District Accountability Committee Liaison will take place during our September 2018 meeting.
