Hello Bearcat Families!
Thank you to our families for their patience and understanding this morning in the new DIS/DUES parent drop-off loop. This new routine was implemented to increase the safety and supervision of students who are dropped off/picked up, or who ride a bus. Due to the closure of the Richards Street Bridge, all traffic is funneled by DIS/DUES and the middle school campuses. This closure has greatly increased the number of vehicles moving between campuses and also serves as the only route to access the Yellowstone Highway Bridge. Basically, this closure has caused a tremendous increase in both Pearson Road and Windriver Drive.
Please continue to be patient as we improve the new routine. We are working with the city and the local police department to further improve the efficiency. Another option is to utilize the CCSD #1 Transportation services. If you are interested in utilizing these services, please call the Transportation Office at 358-4543. Again, thank you for partnering with us to keep all students safe and for your patience as we continue to work through this new process. Have a great day and go Bearcats!

Hello DIS/DUES Families!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
We have a new Parent & Bus Loop this year. The loops have been flipped so the parent loop is now located on the west side of the building or back of DIS/DUES and the bus loop is on the east side or front of DIS/DUES. This change was made to increase the efficiency of the loop, improve the safety for students, and to provide better parent parking during the school day. Please click on the link below to watch the video on how to best use this space once school starts.

Good Evening - Just a quick update on today's occurrences at DIS and DUES. After receiving a threatening phone call perceived as a prank at the DIS Office, both DIS and DUES were placed in secure mode, where no students were allowed in or out of the building unattended. CCSD #1 takes all calls and threats seriously to keep our campuses safe. This continued until local law enforcement investigated the call. At this point, it was determined that a controlled release was necessary in order to keep all students, families, and staff safe until further information was obtained about the call. Law enforcement will continue to investigate; however, at this time DIS and DUES are not in immediate danger. On Thursday, April 30th, the day will consist of a normal beginning of the day routine.
A message was sent via Thrillshare and the Converse County School District #1 app. If you did not receive this message or need help setting up your app, please call either school at 358-0025 or 358-3502.
A special thank you to our parents for their patience and understanding regarding the delayed release of students, to local law enforcement for their immediate support, and to the amazing staff for keeping our students safe.
