Welcome to DMS - Home of the Eagles
Hello Future Eagle Families,
Welcome to the 5th grade DMS Newsletter. We are excited to welcome our new students and families to Dartmouth Middle School. Below is a lot of incoming 6th grade specific updates. I will use this newsletter to update various events. When I get access to message you directly in July, you will get more communication from me via Parent Square and the DMS Weekly Newsletter.
5th Grade Parent Night - May 16th @ 6:00 PM (DMS GYM)
Thanks to those of you who were able to join us at our 5th grade Parent Night. I hope you had many of your questions answered and at least a little bit of your fears calmed about middle school. If you weren't able to join us, the links are below for the presentation, our FAQ and the Band/Enrichment sign up form (due May 19th).
I’ve also updated the DMS parent FAQ - available HERE.
5th Grade Classroom Visits
Our counselor, WEB Advisor and myself visited the elementary schools over the past few weeks. It was wonderful to see all the excited 5th graders gearing up for middle school. We had a short presentation and then let them ask some questions. We also explained the Band/Enrichment choice and importance of the google sign up for for it. The link to sign up is HERE. If you haven't already, take some time to discuss this choice with your child and then have them complete the form - before May 19th.

WEB Day - August 15th
Tuesday August 15th is our WEB day for incoming 6th graders. This is our 6th grade orientation and is led by our 8th grade WEB leaders and WEB advisors Ms. Motch and Ms. Wancewicz. We promise a fun filled morning for your student complete with activities and a school tour. More information will be sent in July.
Parent Square
Parent Square is an app Union SD uses for quick and easy parent communication. In addition to Parent Square messages from me and the district, you will receive them from teachers (and can reply as well). It sounds like a lot - but you can control your notification preferences. You will receive emails and can also turn on text messages from the app. You get to decide when to receive them and the app centralizes all your school messages if you have children in multiple schools. Just download the app.
