The DPGS Board of Education approved the implementation of an accelerated math curriculum beginning with pre-algebra for 7th graders in the fall of 2019.

Eligibility for students will be based on multiple factors including math grade point average in 5th and 6th grade, AIMS Web test scores in 5th and 6th grade, state test scores in 5th and 6th grade as well as teacher recommendation.   Parents will be notified by June 1 if their child is eligible for the accelerated math curriculum.

If students enrolled in 7th grade pre-algebra attain a grade point average of at least C, they will be eligible for algebra 1 during their 8th grade year.

The Deer Park Grade School Board of Education approved the implementation of full day preschool for the 2019-2020 school year. 

The current half day preschool option will be available for parents as well.

The half day preschool option (8:20 to 11:00 am) will include the current morning session that emphasizes literacy, numeracy, thinking and reasoning and self-help skills. The full day preschool option (8:20 am to 3:00 pm) will include the following activities-  lunch, PE, music, art and rest time. We believe that the full day program has a very healthy balance of activities that foster both academic growth as well as social-emotional growth.

RESIDENT STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE FULL DAY PROGRAM ARE ELIGIBLE TO RIDE THE SCHOOL BUS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND BACK HOME AT 3:00 PM.
