There Is 1 Week Until Progress Reports

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR STUDENT? Please log in to Infinite Campus to discuss grades and assignments with your student often. Become an observer in Canvas to see what assignments your student has been assigned. Attendance is also very important. Please check the academic calendar to ensure that your child is at school (as long as they are healthy enough to attend). There are links below to assist you if needed.

Please Complete the Educational Partner Surveys Linked Below

TVUSD is committed to involving our educational partners (students, parents, staff, and community members) in planning for future years. There are two separate survey links to complete this year, and both are available in Spanish. The surveys are anonymous and will be a valuable source of information as we continue to develop and update student-centered instructional practices and fiscal budgets. District and staff leaders will have access to aggregate data from all staff/parents. Please take a moment to provide your feedback. Both surveys will be available through Friday, March 21st. We thank you in advance for your time.

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.
