DMS Delivers
January 31, 2025
Dear DMS Families,
It is hard to believe that February is approaching and our vacation is already only a few weeks away. As a reminder, school vacation will take place from February 17th to February 21st. We will resume on February 24th.
With that, and in the event that you missed last week's newsletter, I am including the MCAS information again, as it will be here before we know it. Below you will find further information on our Spring MCAS dates. You will notice that 7th and 8th grade students will be testing on the same days this year. In addition, our STE testing will take place prior to Math, and 8th grade students will take the Civics exam as well. We ask that students try their best to be in school on their testing days, as make- up days can be challenging. While make- up days do model a similar environment, students also must miss class for the make- up exam, which may put them further behind in their classes and cause unnecessary stress. It is best to participate on the days that their whole grade level is testing. Thank you in advance for your support during our testing season. We do understand that things may come up, so please just reach out to the Main Office if this is the case.
In addition, our annual Winter Wonderland will take place on Thursday, February 13th. Further details can be found below regarding this event, as well as for ordering a t-shirt for the PTO sponsored Color Run. You will also find information on ordering a DMS Yearbook and volunteering for our Spring Career Day, as well as the January Wellness Newsletter, and various fliers from the community.
Have a great weekend!

Are you interested in spending a morning or an afternoon speaking with students about the different aspects of your vocation? Dighton Middle School is currently looking for volunteers to visit our school to share their career choices with our students.
