“Data In, Growth & Proficiency Out!” 🚀
This morning, our COCSD District Title Team rolled up their sleeves and dug into the winter benchmark reading and math data 📊📚. They took a clear, honest look at school growth and proficiency, making sure we stay focused on what matters most — student progress, growth & proficiency.
Their work is steady, practical, and aimed squarely at keeping our kids on track as we head toward spring 🌱✨. Strong teamwork, clear data, better outcomes for kids.

🌟 DDB’s 21st CCLC After School Clubs Spotlight! 🌟
The Curiosity Crew Club with Mrs. Montgomery had an amazing semester! Our students dove into hands-on STEM adventures—from extracting DNA from a banana, to using clues to identify different footprints, to building bridges and rockets. They also explored memory challenges and used their senses for exciting discovery activities.
This club truly sparked curiosity, creativity, and confidence. What a successful semester for our young scientists! 🔬🚀🧠✨

🌟 EPONA Leadership Club 🌟
Where horses, learning, and fun come together!
DDB's 21st CCLC After School Clubs are so proud of the EPONA Experience, with Ms Carlson and trained equine learning facilitator Laurie Brander. This amazing experience gives our students an incredible opportunity to grow. Each week, students visit Laurie’s training arena in Camp Verde and work hands-on with her amazing horses. They guide the horses through obstacle courses, building leadership, communication, and a deeper awareness of the world around them.
Horses are phenomenal teachers, and the growth we see in students who complete the EPONA program is truly inspiring! 🐴💫
A huge thank you to Ms. Carlson for your wonderful leadership and dedication to this program—you make such a difference! ❤️
