Count Day Reminder: Wednesday, October 2, 2024, is Count Day! The funding we receive on this day is vital for ensuring we have the necessary resources to provide a high-quality education for our students. A couple of incentives students can plan for on Wednesday as we encourage perfect attendance. We will be serving favorite lunch items for students at school that day and any student in full attendance at school on Wednesday will receive a free homecoming football game ticket for Friday night’s game against Brandywine!
We hope to see you all at the homecoming game this Friday, October 4, 2024!
As students begin to think about plans after high school, the newly updated Pathfinder can help them find more options than just college. Get started at Pathfinder.MiTalent.org.
Also, students and families are encouraged to view the "Michigan Hot 50 Job Outlook through 2032," which includes the anticipated job growth, the average wage and the education requirements for each occupation. Students can explore in-demand careers and the credentials they'll need.
Count Day is on Wednesday, October 2nd!
Phone Update: Phone lines have been successfully restored across all buildings in our district. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!
Parent Teacher Conferences
Last night, a car struck a utility pole and resulted in power outages near and around the high school. We have been informed all power has been restored. However, it has also caused our phone system to go down. We are working to resolve this issue, but we may not be able to call out or receive phone calls to our buildings and at the bus garage today. We will continue to keep you updated and let you know when our phone system has been fixed.
DMS Football Update for 9/25/2024: Brandywine is experiencing transportation issues. The start time will now be 5:30 PM. Additionally, there will only be one game played tomorrow.
Attention DMS and DUHS: BUS #4 is running 15 minutes behind schedule, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
This weekend is the opening weekend for our fall play! We hope to see you there! Tickets are cash only!
Tomorrow, September 17, is Constitution Day! All of our buildings will participate in a range of activities throughout the day to honor the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787.
Attention, Chieftain Fans! A few reminders of our Rules and Regulations at Chris Taylor Alumni Field: no backpacks, no outside food, no outside drinks, and all elementary and DMS students MUST be accompanied by an adult. We will be offering $1 Student Tickets to ALL Dowagiac students. Student tickets must be purchased at their school during school hours. If they are not purchased during school hours, tickets at the gate will be full price. During the 3rd quarter we will be shutting down the ticket booths and not allowing re-entry into the game. Let’s Go Chieftains!!!
Thank you!
