The DIS/DUES campus had their first lockdown drill of the year. Our staff and students practiced how to be safe in our building in the event of a safety incident. The students were amazing! A special thanks to our local police department and SROs for being part of the drill.
DIS and DUES students enjoying their free breakfast. Thanks to the CCSD #1 Nutrition Department for taking care of our students every day at breakfast and lunch!
Fourth-grade students learned all about the lab equipment they will use during science class. Student groups researched a piece of equipment and presented the structure and function to their class. Science is a new Essentials class this year for 2nd-5th grades. We love having SCIENCE at DIS and DUES - great job, Mrs. Ewing
School pictures were a huge success. If you missed school pictures or need a retake, we will notify all families once this date is finalized. Say CHEESE!
A special THANK YOU to Converse County Bank for supporting CCSD #1 teachers, students, and our schools. We appreciate you and your kindness!
The DIS/DUES October PAC (Parent Advisory Committee) Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 8:15 AM in the DUES Conference Room. Come join the fun!

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!
