- Now that the summer break has come to an end, DoDEA reminds drivers to watch for school-aged children walking to and from school. Children often forget to watch for you.
Our communities have well established rules for speed and other traffic violations in the area of elementary, middle and high schools. It is critical that we all do our part to ensure the safety and welfare for the children returning to school.
Please help us by following the rules which vary from state to state and country to country and by obeying directions from law enforcement officers and crossing guards. Please help us make this a safe school-year for our children. - If you go to our webpage www.dodea.edu, you’ll notice some changes today. Last night, we began a test run of our HQ and area web pages on our Web Content Management System (WCMS).
The WCMS will help us present a more professional, cohesive..., and consistent representation of every level of the DoDEA school system. This initial test/launch will not include districts and schools. If successful, we’ll roll out districts and schools as the designs and content are completed. This will take about 2-years to complete.See More
