Principal's Message from Mrs. Sansone
Dear Hornet Nation,
Happy Mother's Day! I hope this message finds you well and surrounded by love as we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend. To all the incredible mothers in our Hornet Nation, I extend my warmest wishes for a day filled with joy, love, and appreciation for all that you do.
State Testing Update: Week 2 Begins
We've successfully completed the first week of state testing, and I'm thrilled to share that our students have shown remarkable focus and commitment throughout. Their dedication to their tests fills me with immense pride, and I'm confident that they will continue to excel as we enter week two of testing.
Your Support Matters:
As we enter the second week of testing, your support remains crucial to our Hornets' success. Encouragement and involvement make a significant difference in their confidence and performance. Let's continue to cheer them on and provide tangible support: ensuring they have a charged iPad, eat a healthy breakfast, get enough sleep, and arrive on time without absences. Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education journey!
Field Day Incentive:
We'll be hosting Dexter Field Day as a reward for students who meet testing requirements, demonstrate kindness, effort during the tests, and maintain good attendance and punctuality. It's our way of celebrating their hard work and positive attitude. However, students who do not meet the requirements for testing or have poor attendance and punctuality will not be able to participate in Field Day.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our Hornet community. Here's to a successful week ahead!
In Service,
Mrs. Sansone

After School Safety and Palm Park Parking
Please speak to your child about after-school pick-up and dismissal. We are seeing a lot of students staying for an extended amount of time and not staying in the front of the school for pick-up. We do not encourage your child to stay at Palm Park or around the neighborhood after school. Students are to adhere to school and safety procedures even outside the school building. Your support is greatly appreciated to ensure that your child is picked up on time or that he/she walks home directly. We will continue to counsel and make parent contact for identified students.
Additionally, we kindly ask that parents avoid waiting on the street leading to the park, as it is blocking the exit for our community members leaving the community center and pool. Let's work together to ensure a smooth and safe flow of traffic, avoiding any disruptions in our community.
In Service and Appreciation
Thank you for choosing DMS as your education partner. Great school! Great staff! Great students! Let's Thrive at the HIVE!
