DCSS Exceptional Students Program

Under the Big Top... The Greatest Department on Earth!

Today, we officially welcomed our entire Exceptional Students Program family back for an unforgettable Back-to-School/Back-to-Work Carnival! From exciting games and team fellowship to new staff introductions, laughter, and delicious carnival favorites—including popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, nachos, hot dogs, lemonade, and more-it was the perfect way to kick off an incredible school year.

Our ESP team is united, energized, and ready to make a difference in the lives of every student we serve. The excitement is building, the team is stronger than ever, and the greatest show in education is about to begin!

Welcome back, Team ESP! Under the Big Top, we're ready for the greatest year ever because we truly are The Greatest Department on Earth!

Day 2 of the DCSS Leadership Institute: Back to the Basics!
The ESP Department had the opportunity to present today, and I couldn't be more proud of our team! We shared important information, collaborated with our district leaders, and represented our department with excellence. Everyone did an outstanding job!
Here's to building a strong foundation for a successful school year. ESP: Empower. Support. Propel! 💙💛

DCSS Leadership Institute 2026! Looking forward to an amazing school year of learning, collaboration, and leadership. Let's make it a great year!
