Dumbarton Calendar -
Good afternoon, Dumbarton families,
As we prepare for the end of the school year, I’d like to take a moment to celebrate some staff members who will be retiring at the conclusion of this school year:
- Donna Miedusiewski, school nurse
- Toni Sillars, school social worker
- Daniel Sievers, classroom teacher
We are grateful for their dedication to Dumbarton and for their many years of service keeping students healthy and well and helping them to learn and grow.
Additionally, I would like to share that Ms. Kayla Denmyer will be leaving Dumbarton at the end of the school year to begin a new role as Assistant Principal at Glyndon Elementary School. During her nine years at Dumbarton, she has served both as a teacher and administrator, making a lasting impact on our students, staff, and families. Ms. Denmyer expressed her deep gratitude for the support, friendships, and experiences she has gained as part of the Dumbarton community and shared that Dumbarton will always hold a special place in her heart. We congratulate her on this exciting opportunity and thank her for her years of dedicated service.
It's now time to share information about summer reading! Attached here, please find this year's summer reading activity for all students: 2026 Dumbarton Summer Reading All Grades.pdf
Please remind your student to clean out their locker and check the lost and found for those winter coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunchboxes, etc. We will be donating anything remaining in our lost and found after next Thursday 6/11.
I’d also like to share some exciting news- Dumbarton Middle School won first place in the middle school category of the Clean Green Litter challenge for the second year in a row! With this, we receive a $2000 grant to focus on green initiatives.
Next week brings fun for all grade levels:
On Tuesday, students who purchased a yearbook will receive their book.
On Thursday, 6th graders will participate in their STEM day, which includes many activities that are competitive, collaborative and fun!
Thursday, our 7th graders will participate in their version of the Olympics – it’s one of the most fun days at DMS!
Friday is all about our 8th graders. From special recognition and a slide show in the auditorium to Towson t-shirts from the Towson High Sports Boosters and our family picnic, it is a day to remember. Parents, please be sure you have pre-registered so you receive your wristband to attend. Here is the link one more time: https://forms.gle/sofyT4yEb9hvgVGb7 You will be able to check your student out early that day if you wish by signing out at the table located next to the fields.
The last two days of school (June 15 and 16) are half-days, with Monday being our final Roar Rally for the year. We have more ticket incentive baskets to give away and are so thankful for the support from parents and families that have allowed us to celebrate students who are engaged in positive work habits.
Thank you so much to all of our families who have supported our PTSA via meetings, direct donations, fundraisers and volunteering this year. It has been an extraordinary year!
Have your student plan ahead for our final spirit week- please note 7th graders may dress for their Olympic teams on Thursday!
As we prepare for summer, we would like to share some summer opportunities from our partners at Baltimore County Rec and Parks and Free State Camps:
