Principal's Message
Students, parents, and families,
I hope everyone is well. Spring is right around the corner so we are preparing for warmer weather, unpredictable weather, spring allergies, and state testing. Please remind your student about the importance of taking these tests seriously as their scores have a significant impact on scheduling, instructional focus, and allocating the appropriate resources to help your child succeed. Testing will take place on April 14th, and 19th-21st. We are still asking that you encourage our students to engage in respectful social interactions, avoid disrespectful behaviors, and are in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. Thank you for your support of DMS! Go Raiders!
