DMES Families -

As we move into November, I am grateful for our DMES community. This month offers a wonderful opportunity to pause and express my gratitude for your continued support and involvement.

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. Seeing them grow, learn, and support one another each day reaffirms our purpose: to make a difference in the lives of children.

I am continually inspired by the progress our students have made since the beginning of the year. Their enthusiasm for learning and sense of community shines brightly in our classrooms, hallways, and beyond. Thank you for your role in nurturing these traits; your support at home makes a difference here at school.

Speaking of school and gratitude, our DMES faculty and staff are always working hard to ensure that our students perform to the absolute best of their abilities. It is gratifying to see such hard work and dedication for children.

Together, we have created a community where students can grow not just academically but as kind, confident, and extraordinary young people.

Thank you!

During our quarter one Paws for Applause event, we honored three students for their outstanding performance on SC Ready in the Spring. Sakaden Yath earned a perfect score on SC Ready Math! Isabella Peace and Alexis McLean both earned a 99% on SC Ready Reading. Congratulations to Sakaden, Isabella and Alexis on this incredible achievement!
