Math Masters
This year DCES students will be challenged to reach for the stars, (math stars that is). Our Math Masters Superstar bulletin board is designed to help encourage students to do well on their Math Mad Minutes. When a student reaches or masters a specific mad-minute level a stamp will be placed on their star to indicate their progress. We at DCES feel this is a great way to showcase the math talents of all the students.

Students may come to the media center anytime it's open, alone or in groups of two or three, as long as they have permission from their classroom teacher. Every student will attend library with his class once a week for 50 minutes except for Kindergarten and 1st graders. Their library classes are 25 minutes long.
