8th Grade Parents!!!!!!
Dear 8th Grade Parents
As your PTA Board we have been working hard to make the end of the year special for our kids moving on from DMS.
We have a special day planned for them on April 26,2019 beginning with distribution of the 8th grade shirts that morning in homeroom. These shirts are provided at no cost by the PTA and are only available to the 8th graders.
The 8th grade students will then get to spend their lunch period eating with the peers at the picnic tables in back of the school and will be provided a special Ice cream/Popsicle while they enjoy what we hope to be a beautiful day.
Finally after dismissal the PTA is hosting a Hollywood Style Walk of Fame/ Instagram Dance for the 8th grade class. We will be holding the kids who have purchased a ticket in a location after dismissal and allowing them to walk the Purple Carpet into the dance.
We have several opportunities where you can be a part of these events! if you are interested in helping with this special day for your 8th grader, please let us know you'd love to be a volunteer when submitting your permission slip for your student to attend the 8th grade dance. This process is made easy and simple, with dance ticket and permission being given for the admission to the dance found on My Payments Plus, under "School Fees"
We do request that you must let us know if you are coming so the school is prepared for a larger number of visitors.
Thanks!
The Duluth Middle School PTA

Principal's Message
Be sure to plan to attend the 8th grade chorus Peach Jam at Duluth High school next Saturday, April 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the auditorium. All of our chorus students will be performing.
Also, Milestones testing continues next week with one grade level of one subject being assessed each morning. Please continue to get your students to school on time.
PTA will be presenting their 2019-2020 slate of officers at our May awards' nights. Stay tuned to hear more about how you can be involved at Duluth Middle School.
Orchestra presented a great concert this week! Drama wrapped up their performance season with a banquet . For those signed up for Drama next year, please note that there will be some changes in the program. We will not offer a year long option for 8th grade. It will be a semester long course that will still encompass all of the required performing arts Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS). Anyone already signed up who does not want the semester long course may take his or her name off the list by April 26.
Have a great weekend!
