Hello Wildcats,

The Fourth Quarter has begun. It’s the final countdown to summer. This is YOUR quarter to show everyone what you can do for yourself.

You will always have people in your life who will support you and encourage you, however, YOU are the person who determines your goals. You are the person who puts forth the effort to make your goals and dreams come true. You are the person who determines what others see in you.

Make the all-important decision to meet the expectations to have a successful quarter four, and then follow through by actually doing it. You get to tell and show the world who you are. Show us!

Proud to be in the Pride,

Maura Bennington, Principal

We are so proud of all of you!

Attention 6th and 7th graders!

Did you LOVE health class? Feel like you want to learn more? DMS is offering a new elective for next year called the Advanced Health Academy. You can be in 7th or 8th grade and we will be learning all the body systems, as well as medical terminology and First Aid. We will explore medical careers with details of how long you must go to school, how much you would make and what you would do in that job. Furthermore, we will be incorporating H.O.S.A. (Health Occupation Students of America) into the curriculum and competing against other schools in categories such as medical terminology, medical math, medical spelling, reading and even art.

Keep an eye out in April when registering for classes.

Diplomat Middle School would like to ROAR out a big Thank You to all of our community partners. Your generosity allows us to reach educational goals, we couldn't do it without you! Please join us in supporting their businesses as well.
