Hello Middle School Chieftain Families,
This is just a reminder to everyone our first day of school is Tuesday, September 8th. We will begin the year using a new Distance Learning platform called "Schoology."
Students will need to login using their Chromebooks each period to meet their teachers. All staff have been asked to send each student an email inviting them to each of their classes. To assist you with this process, you may also use the following web link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tp1WbDUdyXsRyikDEhAIa0QpXK9PfhQ1/view?usp=sharing
We are excited to begin the new school year and wanted to make you aware that we intend to distribute student equipment and materials beginning next week. As part of this process you will need you to complete registering your child so we can provide them with a schedule of classes.
The designated dates and times for student pick up of materials are as follows:
Monday, August 31st, all 6th grade student families may pick up their child’s school issued Chromebook and textbooks at DMS from 7 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 7 pm. It is important to note, students will need these new computers because district provided software has been pre-loaded on them. We would also like to inform you there will be a $20 insurance fee that will need to be paid at the time of pick-up to cover any possible repairs.
Chromebook and textbook pick up for Families of 7th grade students is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 1st, between the hours of 7AM-2PM and 5PM-7PM
Additionally, families of 8th grade students are scheduled to pick up supplies on Wednesday, September 2nd, from 7AM-2PM and 5PM-7PM
If you are unable make either of the days described, additional pick up times have been scheduled for Thursday, September 3rd from 7AM-2PM and 5PM-7PM and Friday, September 4th, from 7AM-11AM
We ask that you please bring any books that have not yet returned from last year with you as well.
If you need more information please visit our building website and our DMS Facebook web pages for more information.
Thank you.
