Back-to-school supply lists are available on the DCE website for our 4K program, as well as our elementary and secondary schools. Lists also may be available in-store at local retailers.

Lamers bus lines provides home-to-school transportation for students and will send bus registration forms to families prior to the start of the school year. If your student(s) will ride the bus to/from school, families will need to complete the bus registration forms. The bus registration forms also can be found online. For more information, contact Lamers at 715.298.6110 or send Lamers an email.  

D.C. Everest is proud to provide school meals with a variety of fresh, local and homemade foods. Because the USDA did not renew the universal waivers for free/reduced meals for students this year, students will be charged for their meals based on their paid, reduced or free status. If your family is in need, DCE encourages you to apply for free/reduced meals.

School meal fees are as follows:

• Breakfast: Paid: $1.50 at all elementary schools, the DCE Middle School and Junior High; $1.55 at the DCE Senior High; free for students with free/reduced meal status.
• Lunch: Paid: $2.00 (elementary), $2.15 (DCE Middle School), $2.20 (DCE Junior High), $2.35 (DCE Senior High); reduced rate at all schools is $.40.
• Snack Milk: $.45 at elementary schools; free for students with free/reduced meal status.

Families can use MySchoolBucks, a free online payment service to add money to their student’s meal account, view recent purchases, check balances, and set up low balance alerts. Cash or check deposits also can be made in person.

Special dietary accommodations are available for students with a disability that is food-related. The district will provide dietary modifications for children with disabilities on a case-by-case basis when requests are supported by a written statement from a state licensed medical practitioner. Please find more information on requesting dietary accommodations.  

Families are encouraged to view our DCE Nutrislice interactive menus.

Do you have questions or concerns about your student, your student's school, or the District? Social media can be a wonderful communication tool, but it's not an effective means to share questions/concerns or receive timely answers. To ensure your voice is heard, please follow these steps.

Regarding your student. 
Please contact your student's teacher as most questions or challenges can be addressed in a classroom setting. If you have already contacted your student's teacher and you still have a concern, please contact the school principal.

Regarding your school.
Please contact the school's main office and you will be connected with the proper individual to assist you. If you have already contacted the school principal and you still have a concern, please contact Jeff Lindell, Assistant Superintendent of Learning.

Regarding your district.
Please contact the Administration office at 715.359.4221 so we can direct you to the proper contact. The DCE School Board welcomes and encourages student, parent, and community feedback regarding our schools.

Infinite Campus to send a variety of important information ranging from the availability of report cards and new student opportunities, to weather-related closures. You can choose what type of notification you receive and how you receive those notifications.

DCE is committed to providing all students with access to the resources they need, when they need them. Our English Learner program offers support for our English learner and newcomer students to ensure they have the opportunity to achieve at the same level as a student who is a native speaker of English.

The EL program is designed to help students master the English language with emphasis placed on speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills that help students become independent and develop the academic, career, and life skills they need to become successful.

The DCE Special Education department — in partnership with administration, staff, and the community — is committed to providing an innovative learning environment with the goal of developing knowledgeable, productive, caring, creative, responsible individuals with disabilities who are prepared to meet the challenges of an ever-changing global society.

To help students transition to life after school, our staff develop Individualized Educational Plans uniquely suited to each student and provide a variety of hands-on career exploration opportunities.

The DCE Technology department provides opportunities for all students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for productive participation in an evolving, technological society. The DCE One-to-One Learning program, which provides all students with a personal iPad to enhance their learning experience, recognizes technology is a valuable tool for students to reach greater levels of understanding and expand methods of communicating with others around the world. By helping students become fluent users of technology, DCE can ensure students gain critical academic, career and life skills through interactive, exploratory, and inquiry-based learning.

When it comes to safety and security, families play an important role in helping us provide a secure learning environment. As always, we strongly encourage people to say something if they see or hear something. The information below will assist our DCE community in reporting safety concerns. We understand every situation is unique, so please use your best judgment when determining how and whom to contact in the event you have concerns to report.

REPORTING CONCERNS DURING NORMAL SCHOOL DAY HOURS
Parents, guardians, community members. Contact the front office of the school you believe the threat is relevant to, or the district office if you are uncertain. Contact local law enforcement as needed. School and local law enforcement contact information can be found on our Safety/Security webpage.

Students. Please speak immediately with an adult, within the school building, whom you trust. If you are uncomfortable with that, please use one of the following:

Crime Stoppers - Tips can be left online or via phone at 877.409.8777 or by using the P3 app available on students’ school iPads.

Speak Up — tips can be left via email, phone or text. SpeakUp is available on student iPads for grades 6-12.
Speak Up email or Phone/Text: 715-907-7007

REPORTING CONCERNS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE SCHOOL DAY
Parents, guardians, community members, and students. Call law enforcement immediately. They will contact the district and partner with us to address the situation. If the situation requires an immediate response, it is best to call law enforcement first. You also may send emails to the district concerning the situation, but we cannot guarantee those messages will be seen in a timely manner. Please note we do not recommend sending safety concerns via the district’s social media channels or the Contact Us buttons on social media due to the inconsistency of the platforms.

DCE clubs, extracurricular activities, and athletics provide students with opportunities to explore their interests outside of the classroom, compete with their peers, hone their academic/career/life skills, serve their community, and develop leadership and collaborative skills.

Visit our DCE Athletics webpage to learn more about opportunities available for our students and follow the DCE Athletics Twitter and/or Facebook page to keep track of your favorite DCE teams and athletes.

The DCE Clubs and Activities webpage lists student activities. Please note, new clubs emerge throughout the school year based on student interest and initiatives. Thus, your school social media channels, website, and newsletter also are good resources to learn about the latest offerings.

As a DCE volunteer, you can make an impact on the lives of our students and enrich their educational experience. We hope your experience as a volunteer is equally rewarding — therefore we do our best to help you find volunteer opportunities that suit your interests, talents, and schedule. To help volunteers find opportunities within our district, and to ensure we provide a safe and positive experience for students, we use Volunteer Tracker to manage our volunteer program and conduct volunteer screenings.
