The DCMS Bat Signal: 5/13/19
Super me, super you, everyday heroes make dreams come true.
Good Morning Team DCMS Superheroes!
Team,
I hope you felt appreciated last week and every day for that matter. Each of you plays a vital role within the whole faculty and staff team. Truly, there is no role that isn't important to the rest of us.
Keep up the good work of providing a lot of structure and challenge for our students. These last 9 days are not for the weak or faint of heart. Stay strong; don't give in the zillion requests to leave your classroom. Keep your eye on everyone. Do not let down. Monitor, supervise, check the restrooms during passing times, be in the halls, and essentially clone yourselves. :)
We've got this!

Senior Walk 2019
The Senior Walk, which was originally scheduled for May 14th, has been moved to May 22nd.
The seniors will arrive at approx. 9:45 and we will get you all out into the halls, and then queue the music. If we have any inside recess days between now and then, feel free to ask the kids to make signs for the graduating class of 2019.
Please talk with your students about the purpose of the Senior Walk. It truly is a celebration and an event to look forward to for our students as they matriculate through school. It is a way for seniors to remember their past, see teachers they've previously had, and to celebrate the ending of their time as a Danville Warrior. Remind students that they are to show respect for the graduating students - clapping, cheering, or simply standing as they walk by is appropriate.
Once the seniors have completed their walk, they will exit through the cafeteria door #11.

Awards Program
All teachers are expected to attend. If you do not have an assigned class at that time that you are taking to the gym, sit with one of the related arts teachers who has your students to assist him or her in supervision. It is likely that one or all of them will be getting up to present an award. Please spread yourselves around. Department Heads/Presenters, please be poised and ready to give your awards prior to the previous presenter finishing. The goal is to complete our program in an hour or less. When you finish presenting your award please introduce the next presenter. For example, Mrs. Hayse will say, "and now Mrs. Smith will present the Math Department awards." Mrs. Smith will say, "and now Mr. Gleason will present the Science Department awards." and so on.
