Your Input is Important to Us!
Just a reminder we do value your input. The blue suggestion box on the right hand side of our website is used regularly. Our students place items in this box daily and we have made changes based on their input. Some of these suggestions have been tables of four at lunch (still 6' apart), more flex fridays for assistance, and opening the track in winter. If you have an idea or suggestions please feel free to use this box or simply email me at mlewton@dpsnd.org

Spring Activities
Spring activities are upon us which means students will be absent from school for competitions. Please remind your student to complete all work and maintain high grades if they are to participate in competitions. Extracurricular activities are an important part of school, but academics need to be maintained for students to be absent from school. For students to be eligible they must be passing all classes, additionally, they must have all work complete and handed in before departing.
Acalympics
Dickinson Middle School will be hosting the middle level Acalympics competition on April 6th. Area schools will be represented in the academic competition. Teams are made up of students in grades seven, eight and nine. It is a challenging activity that allows our students to demonstrate their knowledge in many academic areas, as well as demonstrate their problem solving skills
Early Dismissal
Early Dismissal on Friday, April 30 @ 1:00 PM. We have early dismissal for teacher in-service. Thank you for your support of education.
