Dear DMS Families,


This week our soccer season officially kicked off with the first two games of the season. You can find future soccer dates below if you would like to come cheer on your DMS Lions. In addition, Mr. Brundage held Instrument Rental Night this past Monday. If you have any questions regarding your child's instrument, please be sure to reach out to Mr. Brundage.


Below you will find information on the DMS Open House. You will notice that we have changed the format to allow families time to see their child's classrooms, as well as DMS in general. If you have any questions regarding Open House, please reach out to the DMS Main Office.


You will also find further information on school pictures and the upcoming Satchel Pulse screener, as well as the PTO October Newsletter, and a reminder from the school nurse. Please also find the Wellness Committee September Newsletter here.


Have a great weekend!
