📢 Safety First at Dorchester District 4! ❤️🏫
 On Friday at Clay Hill Elementary School, Nurse Weathers and Nurse Peters led an essential CPR training for DD4 staff, including principals, assistant principals, teachers, coaches, and more. This hands-on course ensures that we have certified CPR-trained staff in every building—ready to act in case of an emergency. At DD4, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Having trained professionals on-site gives us confidence that we can respond swiftly and effectively when it matters most. 🏥👏 A huge thank you to our nurses and dedicated staff for their commitment to keeping our schools safe! 💙 #DD4Strong #CPRSavesLives #SafetyFirst

Important Schedule Update for Students and Parents Due to the number of e-Learning days used this school year because of inclement weather, Monday, April 21st will now be a regular school day for students instead of a scheduled Teacher Workday. This additional in-person learning day is essential to ensuring our students are fully prepared for success. We understand this change may be an inconvenience, but we appreciate your flexibility and support as we prioritize student achievement. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.
