🚨 Important Notice 🚨
Earlier today, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office was called to our elementary school to investigate comments made by a student. Both the school and the sheriff’s office have notified all parties involved.
At DCLA, the safety of our students is our top priority. All threatening behavior is immediately reported to law enforcement, and we follow strict protocols to ensure a safe learning environment.
The matter has been handled, and school will continue as usual tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

🚨 Reminder for All Sophomore Parents & Students! 🚨
Tomorrow, October 10th, all sophomores will take the PreACT in the morning! 🎓📚
Here’s how you can prepare:
Get a good night's sleep 💤
Eat a healthy breakfast 🍳🍎

Remember, this is a great opportunity to practice for the ACT! Let’s be ready and give it our best! 💪
If you have any last-minute questions, feel free to contact Mrs.Bledsoe.

How can a micro-credential benefit Oklahomans?
Employers and recruiters are looking for applicants who can demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world settings. In fact, nearly all employers in a Hart Research survey (95%) indicated they gave hiring preference to college graduates with beyond-major skills that will enable them to contribute to innovation in the workplace.
Employers agree that having both field-specific knowledge and skills and a broad range of skills and knowledge is the most important combination for long-term success. Micro-credentials quickly establish that you have marketable skills, competencies and experiences.
