DMS Family Weekly Update
10-14-19
Conductor Corner
This week marks the end of a very successful first marking period. Please check your child's Power School grades. If you need help navigating Power School or need your child's password please call the office. We can help!
Thank you to everyone who came out to parent/teacher conferences. It was nice to see so many of you! If you missed conferences, please feel free to reach out to your child's teachers anytime. There is a link to email each teacher on the school website. The weekly newsletter and daily announcements are also available on the DMS website.
Please fill out the Parent Survey! We need your feedback to inform decisions at the middle school. The link is on the school website, but I will also include it below. Thank you for your input! I truly appreciate you taking the time to do this.
The 8th grade Washington DC trip was a success! The students learned so much while having fun along the way. Students will remember this experience for their entire lives!
We have a PAC Lock-in coming up on October 25th. Please see the attached flyer. There is also an attached form for a PAC fundraising opt-out form which is actually a fundraiser too! The PAC does so much for our school including funding field trips and rewards for students. Please consider this opt-out fundraiser as the money goes back directly to the students.
Have a fantastic Railroader week!
