Most people don’t see the work behind every school meal.
Our DMPS Food & Nutrition staff keep kitchens running, serve thousands of students, and build daily connections that matter.
Thank you for showing up for our students every day. #SchoolLunchHeroDay

Preschool starts tomorrow, Thursday, September 4, and we can’t wait to see our youngest learners!
Tips for a smooth morning or afternoon: label the backpack, dress for play, and bring a big smile. Breakfast and lunch are free for our students at DMPS.
See you tomorrow! 🌞

There's no question Iowa has the best State Fair ... and the best State Fair parade. It was a fun night to march down Grand Avenue in the 2025 @IowaStateFair parade as students, educators, school board members, and the superintendent represented DMPS. flic.kr/s/aHBqjCq15v
