A Note from Mrs. Shanks
Please be on the lookout for more information from Mr. Rosati about registration for next year’s classes for current sixth and seventh graders. Students will receive individualized registration sheets on December 8.
We recently hosted teachers, counselors and principals from our Towson elementary schools as well as Towson High School. Our students did a great job showing what we do here at Dumbarton every day and how we focus on student support and success. We feel it is very important to ensure that we are all part of a successful team here in the Towson area.
The week of 12/8-12/12 students will be visiting the Book Fair during ELA classes. It’s a great opportunity to find a good book and support our library!
Our students have been working hard on our musical, Frozen, Jr. Please mark your calendars- the show will be held at 7:00 PM on December 12th and 13th. Online ticket sales are through Online School Payments (OSP) and are available for purchase through Thursday, 12/11/25. Tickets may be purchased at the door for cash only. Seating will be general admission (no assigned seats).
We would like to share another exciting fundraising opportunity! For the second year in a row, we are partnering with ButterFaye Organics to raise funds to support our student activities. Purchase from ButterFaye Organics - https://butterfaye.com/ - between now and December 19th and a generous 25% of your order will go to support DMS students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.

Finally, should we use our 3 virtual snow days and move to virtual instruction, we would need to sign out devices to students who need them on snow/ virtual days. If your child needs a device, please complete the form below to ensure we can provide them with one. We have included the cost for damage or lost devices on the form for your reference. It is important that these devices are only used for instructional purposes during virtual instruction on snow days and that they are returned to school the next day as we do not have extra devices for student use. Please complete this form as soon as possible to help us plan:
