North Texas Giving Day
Dear DJMS Families,
Today is NTX Giving Day, and DJMS PTA needs your support! We invite you to join the generosity movement and help us reach our goal of $1,000.00. We’re raising funds today to support our mission to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Your donation will help support a variety of impactful programs and initiatives.
Giving is easy: between now and midnight, you can make your gift online at
https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/DannyJonesPTA
Plus, your dollars will be stretched with bonus funds and prizes raised by Communities Foundation of Texas! After you make your gift, encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to be a Giving Hero like you! Tag DJMS PTA and use the #NTxGivingDay hashtag to join in the excitement online! Then follow along by checking the NTX Giving Day leaderboards, prizes page, and social media channels for exciting updates and announcements. Thanks for your support of Danny Jones Middle School PTA and being a part of the NTX Giving Day movement!

Staff Spotlight
The Special Education Department is here to support you and your students as they navigate their middle school years. Our goal is to provide every special education student at DJMS with the inclusion, resource, and content mastery support services needed to promote a growth mindset and to create the most engaging learning environment.

We not only invite parent support and involvement, but seek it out to maximize the learning experience for our Bulldogs. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about your student.
