• Please make sure to pull all the way forward when dropping off your child.
• If you are in the front of the drop-off line, please pull forward to the SPEED BUMP so we can unload as many students as possible at one time.
• Students will need to wait for DCMS staff to signal for them to exit the car.
• Students will need to exit the car on the right side. This allows us to see the students who need to cross the street.
• Please make sure your child has all of their belongings together so they can exit the car quickly.

Parents- For access to your child's schedule, attendance, and grades please make sure you have access to Parent Portal. If you need your password reset or a new account set up, please email a copy of your photo ID to dcms.records@dcsms.org.
