Good Morning to our DHE Families~
Thank you all for a great start to the school year! It has been exciting to see our Diamond Hill Elementary students back in school and watching our students SHINE!
Below are a few reminders about procedures during morning drop-off and afternoon pick up. Our goal is to keep everyone as safe and to move lines efficiently as possible. We appreciate your patience and cooperation!
In the mornings, please stay in your vehicle as you drop your child off in the car or bus loop. You may park and walk younger students (K-2) to the door, but please do not enter the building unless you have a need to visit the front office.
School issued tags are required to pick up ALL students.
Keep the car rider tag visible until your child has been loaded into the vehicle. School personnel (both calling students and loading students) during dismissal need to see the car rider tag.
In the car loop, please form two lines up to the merge sign. We understand that the curve in the car loop is a tight fit for many vehicles. Use your judgment in the curve, but then continue forming two lines between the curve and the road. This helps to move vehicles out of Lake Secession Road.
If you do not have a tag, please stop by the front office (prior to dismissal) to get a car tag. You can also call the school to have a tag sent home with your child. Students can be issued up to 3 tags. There is a charge for additional tags.
**If you need to exit your vehicle (morning or afternoon), then you need to park.**
Please share this information with those that drop off and pick up your child.
Thank you for your help in making “Back to School” such a great time of the year! We will be sharing information about Open House later today.
Thank you!
Thank you all for your patience and support as we all adjust to a few changes with our morning drop off, dismissal, car rider pick up, and daily procedures/rules. All changes are to ensure that we keep everyone SAFE. This is our top priority! We appreciate your patience and words of encouragement. Thank you for a great first week. It has been a joy to have our children back in the building! ❤️
After assessing our drop off and pick up procedures, we find it necessary to ask all drivers to stay in their vehicles during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Porch pickup will no longer be allowed. In the afternoon, please display your school issued tag on the dash, visor, or window and leave visible until your child has loaded the vehicle. Otherwise, you may be asked to park and come inside to get your child. The second driveway (the bus rider loop) is open for car riders to be picked up until 3:00 or until buses are visible. Drivers may continue to use the car rider side after 3:00. Allow your child to load on the side closest to the sidewalk rather than walking out into the driveway. If you need to buckle up your child , please pull up and over to a parking space so the line can continue to move. If you would like to shorten your wait time in the pickup line, plan to pick up your child at 3:00 when the line is much shorter. If you do not have a car tag, these will be distributed each afternoon this week before dismissal begins. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we want to ensure safety for all!
Good Morning Diamond Hill~
Please take time to read the Parent Orientation Letter from Mrs. Ricketts. A school issued car tag is required for pickup during dismissal. You may use your school issued tag from last year if you would like. However, new car rider tags (up to 2 if needed) will be provided. These will be handed out to you this week during dismissal. Please display the tag on your visor for school personnel to easily see the student name.
Additional information regarding car riders/dismissal will be sent out later today. Please know that the safety of our students is our number one priority. Thank you in advance for following dismissal procedures to help keep all of our students safe each day!
The Dixie High School Band will be hosting a car wash and hot dog sale this Saturday, July 23 at Dixie High School. Come out to support our wonderful band!

Good evening Diamond Hill Families. This message is a reminder that our 3rd through 7th graders will take Math SC Ready tomorrow, May 17th. Please help our students to get a good night's rest, wake up in time for a healthy breakfast- either at home or school, and arrive to school on time by 7:55a.m. I know they will ROCK this test to show how much they have learned this year! Thank you for being awesome and have a great night!
Due to impending inclement weather this afternoon, we will be dismissing at 11:30 today, Friday, May 5. Thank you and be safe.
There will be no After School Program today, Thursday, April 14. Tomorrow is the first official day of Spring Break. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful break!
Diamond Hill is excited about Read Across America Week (February 28-March 4). We will celebrate our love of READING with a Dr. Seuss inspired theme each day.

We hope that your child will join in on the fun and celebrate reading with us!
