Principally Speaking
Happy Friday to all of you! Spring is coming! I know it doesn't quite feel like it yet, but it IS coming!
We had another wonderful week at DCMS. We are quickly approaching the end of quarter 3 which will be next Friday, March 8. Grades will be posted for parent and student viewing on Monday, March 11th at 3:30 PM.
Below is an article regarding internet safety. Please take the time to read it and discuss the topic with your children. It appears that some of our students have seen the "MOMO Challenge" video and have expressed concern. We want to equip you with knowledge in order to help your student and other parents as appropriate. Please, please discuss this with your student.
Have a wonderful weekend!

How Can Parents Help Us with Attendance?
When your child is sick
- Only let your child stay home if he/she is truly sick. Sometimes complaints of a headache or stomach ache might be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home. Contact the school counselor for support if you think this might be happening.
- The Sick Day Guidelines for Families may be helpful if you are not sure if you should keep your child at home due to illness. See the guideline using the link below.
- Make every effort to schedule doctor, dentist, and other appointments after school hours.
- If your child must be out of school for an appointment, get him/her back to school for at least part of the school day.
- Plan vacations when school is not in session.
