A Quick Update

DiPietro Elementary School

October 28, 2026

Hello DiPietro Families!

We are closing in on the end of October and getting ready for a busy November and December. 
 
Please don't forget--this Friday, October 30th is an Early Release Day.  Students will be dismissed at 11:25 and there will be no afternoon preschool.  Lunches will be served.  Our Spooky Ball is Friday night from 6:30-8:00.  Tickets sold at the door-cash only please.

Offering lunch on early release days is a new requirement for us so I want to explain a bit more about how lunches will be served on early release days: 
  • Students will not go to the cafeteria for lunch like they do on a typical day. Instead, lunches will be delivered to classrooms at approximately 11:00 for those students who opt to receive a lunch. 
  • There will be one will lunch option and it will be brown bag style.  So, for example, this week-students will be offered a sun butter and jelly sandwich with a bag of baby carrots, a small bag of chips and a juice box in a brown bag. 
  • Students may eat in the classroom before packing up, or they can take their lunch with them at dismissal.
