Extra Help @School

Extra Help @School

The DMS Math teachers want to see our students succeed. Many of our teachers meet with students for extra help either before or after school, and seasonally depending on coaching or extracurricular advising commitments. If you are struggling, speak with your teacher! He or she can often make the best recommendations to help you get help!

Test Corrections

Test Corrections

Students at DMS in middle-school level math courses have the option of making corrections on Chapter Tests. Test corrections are not available at DHS, and therefore are not available in Algebra I (high-school level) courses at DMS.

  • Available on Chapter Tests (assignments that count in the “Summative Assessment” category in the Realtime Parent Portal Grade Book). Corrections are not available in other grading categories, such as formative assessments, classwork, or computational fluency.
  • Corrections must be completed in the student’s handwriting.
  • Corrections must show all work for the problem.
  • Corrections must be completed on a separate sheet of paper. No credit will be given for erasures or corrections made directly on the original test paper.
  • Corrections are due by the deadline set by each classroom teacher. Credit will not be given for corrections handed in after the deadline.
  • Corrections must be correct to receive credit.
  • Students who complete corrections in the manner outlined will be able to earn back up to ¼ of the points missed on the percentage grade. Their percentage grade will be adjusted to reflect this.
  • For example, a student who earns an 80% and completes corrections as outlined will have their grade changed to an 85%, earning back ¼ of the 20 points originally missed.


*If you are unsure how to correct a problem, or why it was marked wrong, the first place you should check is the online resources by logging into connectED (see video below). Each chapter includes many video tutorials showing how to solve particular problems.

Private Tutoring

If you'd prefer private tutoring, you can contact your guidance counselor or Mrs. Hutchinson (math supervisor) for a recommendation. Some of our teachers tutor privately, and we can put you in contact with someone who is currently taking on new students. The cost of private tutoring would be the responsibility of the student's family.
