DMS Delivers
November 17, 2023
Dear DMS Families,
As a reminder, Report Cards for Term I will be available this afternoon via Aspen Parent Portal. Unfortunately, we have recently found out that Aspen will also be closing down for maintenance between 6:00 p.m. tonight and 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. We apologize for this inconvenience on Report Card Day.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding student progress once you review your child's report card, please reach out to the classroom teacher, so that we can be sure to support your child moving into Term II. For step-by-step instructions on how to view reports cards in the Parent Portal, please CLICK HERE . If you have logged into the Aspen Family Portal previously, but cannot remember your password, please follow these steps for password reset.
In addition, the Dighton PTO WizFit Challenge will continue into next week, with the closing ceremonies taking place on Tuesday, November 21st. If you have not already, please be sure to check- out the link provided for how you and your child can participate in this PTO challenge, as it does not officially close until the week following the closing ceremonies.
Thank you for always supporting DMS students and staff. Have a great week!

Student Chromebook Repairs
In the event that a chromebook is damaged, lost or not working, please submit a Technology Helpdesk Ticket. Once the technicians have confirmation of the ticket, they will provide the student with a temporary device to be used while the damage is evaluated. If the damage is seemingly accidental damage, the chromebook will be repaired at no cost to the student. If you have any questions, please reach out to the DMS Main Office.
