Bromwell Bulletin – November 19, 2025

We can’t wait to see many of you for Thanksgiving Lunch today!


Please check in at the front office — if you can, give yourself an extra five minutes since we’re using a new check-in system. Then head down to the cafeteria to meet your Bear.

On your way, please take a quick look through Lost & Found! There are lots of items waiting to be claimed.

Holiday Baskets

We know the holidays can cause added stress, and we’d like to help support families that could use it.  If you are in need, please email Principal von Weise at valecia_vonweise@dpsk12.org.  Our school psychologist, Ms. Campbell or our school psych intern Ms.Kutzner will reach out to follow up and see how we can support your needs  in December.

Round 1 window will open on Dec. 2, 2025 at 10 a.m. and close on Jan. 20, 2026 at 4 p.m. Families will be notified of placement results in late February. This change will allow families more time to submit their application and learn of their placement or waitlist positions earlier in the year.
