Welcome to Donelson Photos courtesy of DES Donelson Elementary welcomed rezoned AES students and pre-approved non-resident students in grades 1-5, who will be joining DES for the 2017-2018 school year. Families enjoyed getting “the real scoop” on DES by taking a school tour, participating in teacher-led activities, and having an ice cream treat. Parents had the opportunity to ask questions to learn more about “The Big Dogs of Arlington” A similar event will be planned for incoming kindergarteners in April.
