WOW!! It is the last week of school!!! It has been such a unique year and we are so excited to celebrate the end of the year with awards and field days for each grade level!!!
6th Grade Field Day is Wednesday 5/26 and the End of Year Awards will be at 11:30. Parents may join via zoom. (link below)
7th Grade Field Day is Thursday 5/27 and the End of the Year Awards will be at 8:15. Parents may join via zoom. (link below)

Hays CISD is requiring all devices to be returned to campus by May 28th. For our in-person learners, they will be collected during the school day through designated dates and classes.
For our virtual learners:
- device and charger drop-off as well as yearbook pick-up, awards pick-up, Algebra book drop-off, and 8th-grade t-shirt/mask pick-up (for those who haven't picked theirs up yet) will be May 25th from 1-3pm and on May 26th from 5-7pm. This will look similar to the device pick-up at the beginning of the year. You will remain in your car and drive through the front loop (bus loop) and stop at the various stations to pick up and drop off items.
- Virtual students will need to continue to log in to Schoology each day for attendance and to check in with their teachers for any work and/or assignments that need to be completed.
- Virtual learners are invited to attend Field Day if they would like to do so! If you come to campus on your Field Day, you will report to your Advisory teacher in the morning.

Let's work hard and follow our dreams!
Mrs. Ginn
Reminders for our DMS safety protocols:
- Do not send student(s) to school if they have a pending COVID test of COVID like illness
- masks must be work in the building
- spacing in the classrooms has been relaxed, students are no longer 3 feet apart in all classrooms due to the number of students we will have on-campus
- please bring a refillable water bottle with you every day
- please bring an extra mask in your backpack in case your mask breaks or gets misplaced
- we will continue to offer mask breaks during passing periods. Any time a student's mask is off, they are to be 6 feet away from others.
- if students do not comply with the proper wearing of masks and safety protocols put in place, disciplinary actions may be taken
I hope everyone has a great week!!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ginn
