Mister Fred Rogers left us with many invaluable lessons we can pass on to our children and continue to learn as parents.
Join us for an amazing look at the life, lessons, and legacy of this beloved American icon. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.
Watch the official trailer for Morgan Neville's award-winning movie, Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Here's a peek at what our lower school students have to say about Mr. Rogers

Please send your sports memorabilia and gift cards in to the Administration Suite marked Attention: Gala Committee.

Middle School Technology
At CDS, technology is embedded in the learning experiences throughout the entire school. Every student in grades 4 - 12 is required to have a personally owned iPad or MacBook.
- Note for students entering Grade 6: Beginning next year, Middle School will be transitioning away from iPads for 6th grade. Next year 6th graders will be able to use either an iPad or a MacBook; however, 2019-2020 will be the last year 6th grade students will be able to use iPads. Beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, all students in grades 6 - 8 will be required to have a MacBook laptop. If you are planning to purchase a new device in the coming year for your rising 6th grade student, you may want to consider purchasing a MacBook rather than a new iPad.
