					<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow's forecast for Sandusky, Ohio is predicting rain showers and cool temps most of the day, therefore we feel it's in the best interest of our students and staff to postpone the Cedar Point trip.  If we were to make the trip under these conditions, most of rides and attractions would not be operable nor would it be a pleasant day for our students and staff.

The Cedar Point trip has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 13, 2018.  Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions pertaining to the decision to postpone the trip (thurd@deaschools.com).  

Thank you in advance for your  support. 

Sincerely,
Tyron D. Hurd]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tuesday, May 29, 2018

Dear DEAW Parents,

As you may be aware, we are expecting  high temperatures and humidity this week and we would like to ensure your child is well protected from the heat while at school.  For the remainder of the week (May 30-June 1) staff and students may wear their DEAW Gear (school shirts, black or blue jeans and gym shoes - shorts are not permitted).

 It is essential that your child brings a bottle of water to school, which can be re-filled during the day as needed. 

 We will encourage students to stay in the shade during recess.

 Students will be encouraged to have their water bottles in the classroom and will be encouraged to drink at regular intervals. There are a number of water fountains in school where students can re-fill bottles at before/after recess, lunch or between classes. Students will not be permitted to leave during a instruction time to get water unless there is a medical reason.]]></description>

Good morning Parents,

The safety and well being of David Ellis Academy West students and staff is of utmost importance.  Due to unexpected issues resulting from the flooding in the lower level of the elementary wing, the decision has been made to dismiss school today promptly at 11:30 a.m.   

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause but we have to ensure we provide our students and staff with a safe learning environment.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely,
Mr. Tyron D. Hurd, Administrator]]></description>
