Dear DMS Families,
It was so great to see all of our students back at DMS this week. While it is sad to see summer go, I am sure many of you are happy to be back in a day to day school routine. Soon enough, we will get back into the full swing of things.
As we move into next week, I want to remind you that there is first day paperwork to complete for each student. We know this can be overwhelming, so we tried to make it as easy to manage as possible. On paper, students have the Student Contact Sheet (front) and Medical Consent Form (back). Please be sure to update the contact and medical information as soon as possible. Students can turn those papers into their homeroom teacher.
In addition, you can complete the rest of the sign- offs in Aspen portal, under the “permissions” section. This includes Technology Permissions, Student Handbook Sign- off, and Photo/Directory Release permissions. If this has not been completed as of yet, please do so by Monday, September 9, 2024.
Below you will find information on a History Through the Ages exhibition, as well as homework folders, SEPAC information and Aspen/Chromebook information.
Have a great weekend!
