We made it through the first full week! We are rocking and rolling here at DMS. Students are getting used to their schedules, and we are starting to tighten things up. We will start counting tardies on Monday, so please visit with your child about the importance of taking care of their business so they get to class on time.
Please do not pick up your child on Ridge Road. This is extremely unsafe. We also ask that you do not pick up or drop off your child by our handicap parking spots. This is for handicap vehicles only. I want all students to safely enter and exit our campus every day. I hope that you will be patient and partner with us to follow our protocols. If you have a question, please ask.
Today we had our first safety drill, our Shelter in Place drill. Please know that next week will be filled with drills. We will be doing a fire drill, medical emergency hold drill, and our first lockdown drill. Student safety is always our top priority and these drills help the entire campus to prepare for emergency situations.
Have a wonderful weekend! We will see everyone on Monday!!
