Week 11 - October 19, 2025
Defender Families,
It was wonderful to see so many families at Parent-Teacher Conferences! We truly value the partnership between home and school as we work together to support our students in achieving academic success.
Take a few minutes to read the exciting article — Day Middle School has made the Honor Roll! Cheers to our amazing students, families, and staff. This is One Heart, One Mind in action and a fantastic reflection of our collective dedication and hard work.
This Thursday, we will hold our second ELAC meeting — please see the flyer in this newsletter for more information. Also, don’t forget to check out the College and Career Spirit Days flyer for details about our next dress-up day happening this Thursday!
Thank you for your continued involvement and support in helping make DMS a great place to learn, grow, and succeed.

Dress Code Reminder!!!
Please refer to the Dress and Grooming TVUSD Board Policy located in the Student handbook on page 8.
DRESS AND GROOMING TVUSD BOARD POLICY
Temecula Valley Unified School District believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. Student attire and grooming must permit the student to participate in learning without posing a risk to the health or safety of any student or school district personnel. The school district is responsible for seeing that student attire does not disrupt school activity or contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere for any student.
1. Students must wear clothing including a shirt with pants or skirt, or the equivalent (for example dresses, leggings, or shorts) and shoes (no flip-flops or slippers).
2. Clothing shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments and buttocks. No underwear, undergarments, or clothing that is comparable to undergarments (e.g, bathing suits that resemble the same coverage of an undergarment) may be visible at any time. Clothing may not be see-through or mesh if underwear is visible underneath.
3. Attire may not display images that are violent and/or depict drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, or promote any unlawful act. Additionally, attire may not contain imagery, words or acronyms associated with hate speech, profanity, pornography, or any promotion and/or endorsement of violence, alcohol or drug use.
Students and parents/guardians shall be informed about dress and grooming standards at the beginning of the school year and whenever these standards are revised. A student who violates these standards shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
* Please refer to the TVUSD Board Policy Regulation 5132, Dress and Grooming, for the most current district dress code guidelines.
