At 5:25am this morning, I got a text message and email that Darien public schools had a 90-minute delay … did you?
I got a notice via email that the current EdAlert Database was being “purged” and we would need to re-register as of noon this Saturday (the 17th) if we wanted to continue to receive alerts pertaining to important Darien Public School notifications. So I just did: here is the link if you’d like to as [...]

Go BLUE WAVE! It’s going to be a weekend of good old fashioned school spirit, TP-d trees, and general high school debauchery — ahhh the good old days. I always dreamed of being a Blue Wave Dancer, but went away to a high school that didn’t allow any kind of cheerleading….. Or food or drink. [...]

I have to admit that, when it comes to flyers and circulars that arrive by mail, I tend to sift through them with barely a glance and then toss them into the trash (recycling bin, of course). But thankfully, the colors of this brochure (designed by local artist Agata Lipnicka) caught my eye and I [...]
When it comes to playgrounds in Darien, your neighborhood school playground is an often overlooked but always great option for weekend fun (you obviously can’t use them during school hours).
