DMS Community Newsletter 25/26

Dear Defender Families,

What an amazing first week of school! Our campus came alive with energy, smiles, and the joy of having our students back where they belong.

We’re excited to keep the momentum going and look forward to welcoming parents on campus for Back to School Night on August 21st at 6:00 PM

A few additional reminders:

🌟 Gates open at 7:45 am. All students should be in their classes by 8:00 am

🌟 Returning 7th and 8th Graders - Please continue to bring old DMS ID cards (if you have them until picture day) to scan at lunch so we can expedite the line. (All students will receive ID cards on Picture Day)

Please read all the information!!!
