1) There are THREE cross walks at DES, one in the middle of the front drive and one near the end by the Preschool Entrance, and one between the elementary cafeteria and high school gym. Please make sure that you are driving slowly and STOPPING for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
2) Arkansas Code 27-51-1609 states that "a driver of a motor vehicle shall not use a handheld wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle when passing a school building or school zone during school hours when children are present and outside the building.”
Arkansas Act 37 defines a handheld wireless telephone as a wireless interactive communication device with which a user engages in wireless interactive communication using at least one hand.
Please help keep our students safe and stay off the phone while in the school zone.
Registering BEFORE OPEN HOUSE will make the process much quicker and less stressful for everyone.
