Hello DBES Families!
We have had a jam-packed month filled with great things! From our first ever Reading Campout to our first quarter conference night, to our Open House, to our PTA/SAC/SAF meetings, to a family night at Chuck E Cheese, we are working on engaging with our families in unique and a variety of different ways. We will also continue to offer our evening events in Spanish, Haitian-Creole and Portuguese so please spread the word!!!
También continuaremos ofreciendo nuestros eventos nocturnos en español, criollo haitiano y portugués, ¡así que corra la voz!

Please also remember at Deerfield Beach Elementary School (DBES), we take attendance very seriously. Please understand that our collective job as educators is to teach your child(ren). If they are late, they miss instruction. Plus, after the adrenaline rush of being late and being off a schedule, it does take many of our students even more time to calm and get adjusted. This loses more instruction time. If your child is absent, please DO NOT forget to call in their absences. Finally, please remember, if your child is consistently out sick, we will request doctor’s notes to confirm their being out. As teachers, we can’t do our job effectively if your child isn’t in school every day. Plus, we do have a direct relationship with poor attendance and lower performance on FAST and other important test scores.
Make sure to follow us on our website and our DBES Instagram page for the most up to date and real time information. Also, if you are tired of receiving phone calls from us, please register your cell phone and/or email. We are reducing the number of calls we send and focusing increasingly on our text and email campaign to engage and communicate.
Finally, our Reading and Math challenges are in full swing. Please make sure you are logging your reading minutes via Beanstack and completing your Math Superstars! Make sure to submit your Math superstars pages on Friday to receive full credit!
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to an amazing Fall season with you!
Sincerely,
Drew Gerlach
Proud Principal of Deerfield Beach Elementary School
