Flex Your Parent Power!
Preparation, Motivation and EXCELLENT Education: The DMS Way
Together Everyone Achieves More...
It isn't JUST involvement though, is it? I mean, let's face it: as parents, we involve ourselves in things everyday. We involve ourselves in the drama between siblings (at least I do)... we involve ourselves in our daily affairs; working, paying bills, managing households with genuine fervor and balancing it all with exquisite finesse' (I know... I know... just hear me out) but somehow, involvement just doesn't quite explain it fairly, does it?
Being a great parent IS involving yourself into every aspect of your child's life; yes, and for the sake of tradition (and job title purposes) Parental Involvement is what I will call myself, but this is NOT who I invite you to be this year at TEAM Dublin Middle School.
See here at Dublin Middle School, We inspire. We believe. We cultivate. We empower our students to be the best and we subscribe to that notion. We buy into that process... in other words, we ENGAGE.
Ahhhh... there it is. ENGAGEMENT. Morally committed to a particular aim or cause. There's no greater cause than your children.
We here at Dublin Middle School know that.
You as parents at home... at work... know that.
My job is to bridge the connection.
So this year, I invite you to ENGAGE into TEAM DMS by being what you already are: an awesome parent! I invite you to walk the halls of our great school. Ask great questions. Offer greater suggestions. The path to success starts here.
We have so much work to do to help our students. So much more to achieve.
So let's do it.
Together.

Through our partnership with the Dublin Police Department, DMS is proud to return "Days With Dad" starting this month, every 3rd Wednesdays of the month. All dads and positive male role models are invited to come and hang out with us here at DMS. Visit your child's classroom, eat lunch, grab a game of basketball while you're here, the choices are endless! Additionally (and since you're here anyways), participate in our "D.A.B." (Dads Are Brilliant) Workshops to get useful resources to help your students continue on the path to success. See you next week!
It's APPT Time!!
Foundation Skill To Be Presented: MyOn Training
Studies show that students with targeted Lexile levels have a direct correlation to passing Milestones scores. Dublin Middle School is proud to utilize MyOn reader, a website dedicated to helping students achieve this goal. The website provides hundreds of books that students can choose from to read according to their levels. As students pass tests, their score increases! APTT will be focusing on helping parents navigate this awesome tool. There will be door prizes and other fun things as well, so make sure you have your face in the place for APTT!
