March 10th
Daylight Saving Time Begins
Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m., daylight saving time begins. Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead one hour!
As a result of the time change, some students may be walking to school or to bus stops in the dark. Help your child stay safe by having them wear reflective clothing and bright or light colors, or add reflective items to their backpacks or clothes. Also, encourage your child to be especially alert for cars that are turning or backing up and not to run into the street or cross between parked cars.

Greetings Deer Park Families,
A lot has happened over the last few weeks and I wanted to give you a brief update to our Science Alive Lobby.
|
Fish Tanks – We are GREEN with envy here at Deer Park. While we thought we had gotten control of our algae problem we realized that our filter system just wasn’t strong enough for the large tanks that we have. We are in the process of completely cleaning and renewing the water in each tank. Please don’t worry – our fish are just fine! They are all living happily together in the first tank while the second tank renews it system – this takes about a week! We hope to have cleaner / clearer water for the fish and for you in the near future!
Eagle Watch – if you have noticed we have placed 2 different eagle habitats on the large screen monitors in the lobby outside of the gym. We are closely monitoring our eagles Jackie and Shadow from Big Bear and as we expect the eggs to start “pipping” on the 29th – then it will take a few days for the new eagles to hatch. Please visit our lobby and check out the informational poster!
