Happy Friday DKMS families! It has been another busy week in the middle school.

We have completed our 3 "testing" Wednesdays (4/17, 4/24, and 5/1). Thank you to everyone for making sure students came to school with charged Chromebooks and chargers. During the next few weeks, students who were absent will be pulled during class to complete their M-Step test.

Yesterday and today summer school permission slips were sent home with certain students. If your child did not receive a permission slip please call the office (269) 623-1541 and let them know you would like them to attend. We will make sure your child gets a permission slip. Registration forms are due back by Friday May 17, 2024. As a reminder here are the summer school times and dates: Summer school will run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. We will offer students transportation to and from school, breakfast, and lunch. Our summer school dates will be:

• Tuesday June 18th and Wednesday June 19th
• Tuesday June 25th and Wednesday June 26th
• Tuesday July 9th and Wednesday July 10th
• Tuesday July 23rd and Wednesday July 24th
• Tuesday July 30th and Wednesday 31st

On Friday May 31, 2024 our 8th graders will have their formal dance. On Wednesday May 8, 2024 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm in the middle school, any 8th graders who need formal attire will have the opportunity to try on and have clothes for the dance.

As we begin May, I would like to remind parents and students about staying eligible to go on the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade field trips. Please remember that attendance, grades, and behavior are all a part of the criteria to go. We have a few weeks to go before the trips and I would like as many students eligible to go as possible! If you have questions or need financial assistance for the field trip please reach out to your child's teacher.

As always I would like to thank our staff, students, families, and community for all of their support and hard work. We are getting closer and closer to the finish line and I know we will finish strong! Thank you again and have a wonderful weekend!

Just Can't Hide That PANTHER PRIDE!!!
