Back to School

Dear Families:

Hope you enjoyed your summer.  We are excited to welcome your student back for the 2025-26 school year.  Unlike last year with the additions of the 7 Period Day and Opportunity Days, we have only one significant change.  The change includes moving our "Back to School" information and forms onto the Denfeld website.  Reminders will be shared via ParentSquare so you can complete required and optional forms digitally throughout August.

As you prepare for the upcoming school year, please mark your calendars for the "Important Dates" on this page.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Hunter Kickoff on Wednesday, August 27, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Sincerely,

Thomas W. Tusken, Principal
Joanna Sackette, Assistant Principal
Tanya Jackson, Assistant Principal
