Kindergarten had their Spring Concert tonight at DHS. The students were so excited to share what they have been learning into in Mrs. Dunne’s music class! They all do a wonderful job! 🎶 🎵



Earlier this afternoon, an Illinois Central School Bus was involved in an accident on Route 2 between Oregon and Byron. We want to confirm that NO DPS #170 students were on the bus at the time of the accident. We are awaiting additional information from law enforcement. There are delays in bussing this afternoon due to the closure of Route 2.

See everyone on April 4!
