Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
We have had a great first week at Duluth Middle School! Students have been well behaved during testing and major transitions and have had the opportunity to settle into their new classes and routines.
I would like to remind all parents about safety in the car rider lane. I had to ask several people to slow down, not come through the side lanes and break in line, or pull all the way to the front. Thank you for your patience with late buses and slow moving lines as everyone learns dismissal processes. Car rider parents, please remind your students to be looking for you in the line. Dismissal is at 4 and all car riders should be picked up by 4:20. Generally, after the first week of school, all buses are out by 4:20.
We are still looking for some School Council Members. See the form on the website. We are extending the deadline for nominations to next Friday, August 17. Please fill out the form and email to tara_labarbera@gwinnett.k12.ga.us. This is a great way to stay involved and informed.
Have a great weekend!
Deborah Fusi
Principal

DMS Intramurals
YOU ONLY HAVE TO SIGN UP ONCE FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR
Dear Parents,
We at Duluth Middle School are happy to provide an intramural program for all 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at no cost to you. The purpose of the program is to develop physical skills and help students learn about team work, sportsmanship, respect for others and development of good self-esteem. This letter is to serve as a permission form and inform parents and students of the rules of the program. Please read these items, and complete the registration before the first time you attend. All activities are supervised by a certified teacher. We will begin on the week of August 21st.
Intramural Rules
1. Intramurals is open to all students that complete and turn in the registration form.
2. Intramurals will be held before school from 7:30 - 8:50 am, on Tuesdays (soccer) and Thursdays (basketball). There will be no supervision before 7:30 am. Students must arrive before 8:00 am. Any student who arrives after 8:00 am will be sent to the cafeteria.
3. DO NOT ENTER through the front doors. Parents must drop off in the back parking area by the gym doors.
4. Unless a student has a pass for a help session, students may not leave the gym until 8:50.
5. NO GUM, FOOD, or DRINK is allowed in the gym.
6. Bring extra clothes to change into. Dress comfortably, appropriately and with gym shoes.
7. Intramural participation is a privilege, so we expect all participants to exhibit good sportsmanship and obey school rules. If meeting the rules and expectations of the program becomes an issue, a student will not be allowed to participate.
