Here is another helpful reminder for DMS students & their famililes:
Follow us each day for helpful reminders to start the school year off right!
Please stay tuned each day for reminders that will be helpful to start the 2022-2023 school year on the right foot.
Here's the details on how to complete a Dragonfly Account. If you have one already, please don't create a new one. You will just log into your current account and update your information.
DMS Student Athletes & Parents:
There are several of our athletes that don't have their Dragonfly Max account fully set up. Please make sure that you create an account as a parent and then add your child's information after that. If they had a physical done at the school last spring, it will be uploaded after you do the other information.
If you have questions or need help, you can discuss with one of the coaches or you can contact Mrs. Rachel at: 870-946-3708.
Please take care of this ASAP as students have to be fully eligible in Dragonfly in order to participate in sports.
Students can come & pick up their schedules next week on August 1 & 2. We will also have lunch forms, and we encourage ALL FAMILIES to complete the free/reduced lunch form and return it to us in the office. This year, students will pay for breakfasts & lunches, and by completing this form you will greatly help us. Thank you.
DMS Students & Parents:
Your schedules will be available for pick-up on August 1 & 2. Please see details in picture below.
Please join us for our annual Open House. We can't wait to see you!
Please make plans to Meet the Dragons!!
A reminder from our DMS Nurse, Mrs. Leigh Ann:
Your student should have received a letter if they are in need of updating their immunizations. Please take this time to schedule an appointment to update their shots if needed, and bring your record of immunization on the 1st day of school.
6th Graders: required to have TDap Vaccination after turning 11 years old. 7th Graders: required to have MCV4 Vaccination.
The DeWitt School District will provide Free School Supplies to students Grades K-12 for the 2022-2023 School Year!
All student athletes must have a DragonFly account that is up to date in order to participate. Mrs. Rachel will be assisting anyone who might need a helping hand getting their student's DragonFly complete.
Details in pic below. Thank you!
Dragon Fans! Big things happening this Thursday evening. See you there.
DMS Parents:
Just a reminder that Semester Tests begin today. You can see the full semester test schedule on our Facebook page or our website: www.dewittdragons.net.
School will dismiss early Mon.-Wed. this week. 1:10 for car riders and 1:15 for bus riders. Thursday will be a make-up test day and only students who aren't finished testing will need to attend.
8th grade Career development students have been researching careers all semester. They wrote Children's books based on a selected career. These stories included education requirements, skills, tasks and salary information about their chosen career and this week, some of the books were picked to read to K-2 students at DES. Student's created the stories, designed the illustrations and edited their text as well as practicing oral communication skills while reading them.
This week, DMS 8th graders experienced “Get Real-Here’s the Deal,” a personal finance simulation. They learned what it was like to be the primary source of household income, paying taxes, managing a checking account and paying bills. They were faced with real everyday hard decisions and some had to sacrifice when the money was gone. By the end of the exhibit, most kids looked weary. (A familiar feeling for their parents and caregivers, I'm sure) Thanks to our amazing volunteers, Tim Edmondson and Whitney Meadors, our teachers, and to Alta Lockley and her crew from the cooperative extension office who made this happened. If you have an 8th grader, please ask them about their experience. They cannot stop talking about it! -Mrs. Fisher
Students:
Tomorrow will be check out day for students are exempt from ALL tests. You should return all school issued items: Chromebooks & chargers, hotspots, library books, text books, etc.
Any student who still have items not checked back in to the school will not be given their exemption letters until all things are turned in and they are fully checked out.
Students who still have to take semester tests will check out and return all items when they are done with their tests. They should plan to have these items with them on the day of their last test.
DMS Spring Fling 2022 was an awesome night! Our students had the best time. Thanks to all our Stuco students and our DMS Stuco sponsor, Mrs. Misty Everett for all of your amazing works to pull the dance off. We are appreciative of our teacher and parent volunteers as well. We are blessed with the best.
