Principal's Message
Students, parents, and families,
Welcome back for the second semester! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We have a couple weeks of basketball remaining and many spring sports are about to begin. As we kick off this semester, we will continue to work through curriculum, support student learning, and focus on school climate. We are still asking that our students engage in respectful social interactions, avoid disrespectful behaviors, and are in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. As always, we truly appreciate parental support and hope that you will reach out to us if needed.
Thank you for your support of DMS! Go Raiders!
