DCS Montessori Charter School -

At a recent board meeting, the DCS Montessori Board of Director's unanimously passed a resolution supporting the Douglas County School District Board of Education authorized Bond, placed before voters on our upcoming 2024 ballot, a $490 million Bond. The Bond will impact DCS Montessori's ability to fund technology improvements, school safety upgrades, and an elevator modernization project.

Join us for Ms. Lynn's 7th Annual Halloween Candy Donation Drive! Bag up that extra Halloween candy and bring it to the DCSM carpool line from Monday, November 4 through Wednesday, November 6. (morning carpool only, not afternoon). You can also drop off your candy to the front office. All candy collected will be donated to the Colorado Volunteers of America (VOA). The VOA uses the donated candy to add a little treat to meals and care packages they build for Colorado's homeless population. During last year's candy drive, DCSM collected and donated over 700 pounds of candy. Let’s donate even more in 2024!
