Deep River families, we have student artwork being exhibited in the Festival of the Arts! Feel free to stop by and support Lee County Schools arts education! If you get a text message from Deep River, then your student's art work is being exhibited!


Families, we still have library books checked out! Please do not forget that all books need to be turned in or families will be charged for lost books! Please turn in books during the last week of school!



Congratulations to some our 5th grade battle of the book winners and Mrs Groce for being celebrated at tonight's board meeting! Thanks for coming and then leaving to go study for your math EOG 😉


Good morning! Bus 49 is running about 10 minutes behind schedule this morning. Mrs Philips is starting the route now.

Please do not forget to turn in all library books this week! All books are due before May 16 before students are charged late fees. Thank you!



Families, do not forget that we will start our end of grade tests this week! Students need to get a good nights sleep and a good breakfast before they come to school! They will do great on their EOGs!



Today, we highlight our last group of staff, who help out at Deep River daily as grade-level tutors and long-term substitutes! We would not be able to support our students each day without these fantastic ladies! Thank you so much to these ladies for your help!
