Dear Parents:

Welcome back to a very positive and exciting school year!  I hope you all had a fine vacation and are looking forward with enthusiasm to the new school year.  My name is Gail Withers I am the primary academy assistant principal.  DEPSA has a reputation of excellence, I feel fortunate to be part of DEPSA's school culture focused on student learning, a commitment to high expectations, innovation and collaboration.

The primary academy is very excited to start the new school year.  Through building strong relationships, teaching students to be responsible citizens, and by having high expectations, we believe we will achieve and reach our goals.  We are looking forward to a positive and productive school year.

We welcome all new learners as well as looking forward to working with returning learners.  Please feel free to stop by the primary academy office to volunteer.
