Semester 2 Period Tardy Notifications

As of 1/14/25, DMS restarted a school-wide initiative to support student attendance and on-time arrival to class.


Parents/guardians receive email notifications for every period tardy earned by their student. The email includes the parent, teacher, student, and administration. Please reach out to teachers and administration if you have any question regarding a marked tardy. Students also receive a paper notification/warning in class.


Get immediate attendance updates by signing up for Infinite Campus alerts for attendance and assignments. Directions here.


See DMS Student Handbook for more information on demerits and end of year activities. Students with 12 or more demerits are not eligible for end of year grade-level events.
