The DeWitt School District will be delayed two hours today, Friday, February 3. School will begin at 10:00AM.
The DeWitt School District plans to resume regular hours on Friday, February 3rd. Should road conditions change, parents will be notified promptly.
Basketball Games that were previously rescheduled for today, February 2, have been postponed once again. When new game dates and times have been set, they will be shared!
DMS Families: We will be out of school again tomorrow, February 2. Please have your child complete AMI Day 3, which was given out on Monday,
When we return to school, students should bring all of their AMI packets with them and turn in to their 1st period teachers. They will be counted present for the inclement weather days by completing their AMI work.
As always, should you need assistance, you can email Mrs. Rachel at rmitchell@dewittdragons.net or you can contact your child's teachers on Schoology or by email.
Stay safe and warm.
DMS: Tomorrow, February 1, 2023: Please do AMI Day #2 in your AMI Packet that was sent home on January 5. Students will turn in work to their 1st period teacher when we return to be marked present for the AMI Day and to receive credit for the assignments.
Can't find your packet? We have a PDF copy of the work on our website, www.dewittdragons.net. From there, select DeWitt Middle School from the school options. Under the Explore tab, you need to select Documents. From there you should see AMI Work.
The work is PDF copies of the original paper copies that were sent home. Students should either fill answers in electronically with Kami and email to Mrs. Rachel or you can print the packet.
From our district central office:
Due to the forecasted inclement weather in our area, the DeWitt School District will be closed Tuesday, January 31st. Students will complete AMI Day 1.
DMS Students will need to complete AMI Day #1 of their paper packet that was previously sent home. They will return their work when school resumes.
You can email Mrs. Rachel Mitchell or contact your teachers on Schoology if you need assistance. rmitchell@dewittdragons.net.
Be safe tomorrow.
DMS Students were sent home with AMI Day 3 work today. They should put this work in the same safe place that they put the AMI Days 1 and 2 work.
Should we have a weather event or another force of nature that will prevent us from coming to school, the students will complete this work then. They would return their work when school resumes.
Thank you.
Attached you will find a schedule for our 2023 Track Season.
Any DMS JR Boy (7th & 8th) who wants to participate in track this season needs to attend a meeting with Coach Brown. There are two days they can pick from: This Wednesday, January 25 at LUNCH in the DHS GYM or Friday, January 27 at LUNCH in the DHS GYM.
Remember, all students who run track need a current physical on file and must have an updated account in Dragon Fly. You can contact Mrs. Rachel if you need a physical form or help with Dragon Fly. rmitchell@dewittdragons.net
Parents of DMS 6th & 8th Graders:
Mrs. LeighAnn will be doing her BMI (Body Mass Index) Screenings this month. You can opt out of having your child screened. If you DO NOT want your child screened, you must come see Mrs. LeighAnn and complete an opt out form.
Thank you.
There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16, 2023 in observance of the Martin Luther King, JR Holiday. School will resume on Tuesday, January 17.
Welcome to our DMS School Family Mrs. Shelli Conrad. Mrs. Conrad is our new 6th grade math teacher. We are so glad to have you on our team!
DMS Students received their report cards today, January 10. Please review your child's 2nd nine week and 1st semester progress with your child. You may email your child's teacher if you have questions or concerns. Thank you.
8th Grade Parents:
8th Graders will participate in the "Choosing the Best Path" program starting next week. It is part of the YES (Youth Empowered to Succeed Abstinence Education Program) and is designed to educate students on making best health choices to live a healthy lifestyle.
All 8th grade students will participate unless parents write a handwritten note stating that they do not want their child to participate. Parent opt-out notes must be given to the office before the program starts. A parent note was sent home with these students today.
DMS Students will come home TODAY with AMI (Alternative Methods of Instruction) Work for 2 days should we ever have to stay home due to weather or a natural disaster.
Please put these paper copies in a safe place. Students will only have to do them if we are out of school. Students will return the work to school after an AMI Day, should there be one.
Thank you.
Here's a look at what is on the calendar for us here at DMS during the month of January:
