Happy Principals Day to Mrs. Walters! She is "Nacho" Average Principal!!! Thank you for all you do!!


Ladies and Gentlemen! I introduce to you our 2023 Field Day for Deal Island!!
We are having multiple activities all day long! We are also having our Scholastic Book Fair this week as well and it'll will be open during the day for families to shop. Students have assigned color tops to wear based on grade level. 5th-Gray, 4th-Green, 3rd-Purple, 2nd-Red, 1st is Blue and Prek/K is yellow. We also ask students send in their sunscreen and bug spray to be re-applied during the school day. Most activities finish around 2 pm and breaks are built into the schedule. If you bring any small family members or non-DIS students, we just ask that you monitor those children at all times. Thank you!


2023 Graduating Seniors that attended Deal Island Elementary School are welcome to come down and parade the school and be celebrated by our current students.


Happy Birthday to all of our May student Birthdays!


Due to flooding in low lying parts of the county, Somerset County Public Schools will open 2 hours late today, Monday May 1, 2023. FNS and essential staff should report on time. Please drive safely.


Next week, it's going to be May!
There is no tutoring for the remainder of the school year. We are also all finished our MCAP testing!! WOO HOO!!! We have after school Church on Wednesday and after school 4H on Thursday.
No other updates! Mrs. Wanda will be back in next week if you wanted to wish her a belated administrative professional day.
