Bulletin Board

At Findley Elementary, education is the platform for a hopeful future. We stand as One Team to dismantle systemic racism and address inequities within our school. It is our responsibility to provide opportunity to celebrate each other, to hear multiple perspectives, and to speak up for what is right.

DMPS Virtual Backpack

We are pleased to welcome you to the virtual backpack for Des Moines Public Schools,  our central hub for information about school and community events and information of interest to students and their families. The new virtual backpack allows the Des Moines Public School District to distribute school and community information electronically to parents, staff, and students. Click here to visit the virtual backpack!

Des Moines Public Schools uses Nutrislice to provide easier and more complete menu information about breakfast and lunch at all of our schools.

Visit DMPS Nutrislice to see what’s for breakfast or lunch at any school on any day of the school year.
