Springing Forward!

More daylight means that spring sports and outdoor events are around the corner and we are heading towards the end of the school year. This spring is busy at DMS and we are so excited for the opportunities for students to showcase their learning and for parents and families to be involved.

It's been an amazing winter full of more DMS pride- just a few examples:

-Ms. Lewis-Orr, our teacher of the year, was recognized before a record crowd at TU's basketball game.

-Our boys basketball team, under the leadership of Coach Edan Wall, is BCPS's Middle School basketball Eastern champions!

-Our winter concerts allowed our students to shine!

-We held a few pop-up spirit and incentive days that were met with great success.

-Our 2nd quarter roar rally allowed more students to shine and receive recognition for academic, attendance and character growth and success.

-We have had several students participate in writing contests, music solo and ensemble festivals, and other academic contests- we are so proud of the intellectual risks (and fun) we are seeing!

A few reminders for you from our front office:

We do not allow fast food drop offs. If a student forgets their lunch, a free school lunch is available in the cafeteria.
Requests for early dismissals should be communicated (and occur) by 2:30.
Absent notes may be sent in with your student to their 1A or 1B teacher depending on the day(s) out. Or they can be emailed to [email protected]
If you have moved within the school year or have changed your phone number, please provide the proper information/ documentation to the office for your student's file to be updated.
BCPS has issued invoices for device damage. Failure to pay overdue invoices may result in end of year activities being forfeited for students- please make sure you have handled any invoices (you would have received an e-mail from BCPS titled "Statement for Ticket"

Below is information on upcoming dates and activities happening at DMS. More information on end of year activities for sixth and seventh graders will be coming soon.
