Hello DMS Families,
We want to thank all of our families who came to Spring Parent Teacher Conferences last week. It was nice to see so many faces and our teachers really enjoyed having conversations with you about your child's progress! We appreciate your participation!
ATTENTION families: Our Annual DMS Family Engagement Night will occur on Tuesday, March 11th (5:00-7:00 pm). Our theme for this year's event is "GET A CLUE?" Over the course of the evening, students will team with their parent/s to solve education puzzles/questions which will lead them to clues to help solve our "Mystery Crime." All who participate will have a chance to earn special prizes (e.g. gift cards, Chromebooks, t-shirts, sweatshirts, books, games, etc.). Refreshments will be provided to all in attendance. Please RSVP for this special night by selecting the following weblink: DMS Title I Family Night Registration.

Wednesday, February 26th was Career Day at DMS! Local professionals from the area volunteered their time to share information with students about their careers (e.g. doctor, marketing, firefighter, police officer, real estate agent, chef, construction, plumber, engineer, welder, dentist, etc.) . We want to thank all of our presenters for donating their time to help our students explore the many paths they can take to a profession. We would also like to extend a BIG CHIEFTAINS SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Bethanie Eichel, SMC/ETS Coordinator, and Mrs. Chonda Rimpson, DMS School Counselor, for helping to organize this event for everyone!
"AWESOME!" is the word to describe our DMS Choir's performance supervised by DUS Choir Director, Mr. Hunter Schuur at the Michigan Schools Vocal Music Association (MSVMA) Festival on Wednesday, February 26th. Their performance was rated by a panel of judges who assigned a score from 1-4 (1=Excellent, 2=Good, 3=Fair, 4=Poor). We are PROUD to announce our 6th grade Choir earned a 2 rating and our combined 7th & 8th grade Choir received a 1! Nice work CHIEFTAINS!
BRING IT ON! Our DMS/ETS esports Teams begin their Spring Season chasing their second 1st Place Championship of the 2024-25 School Year. They won their 1st match in the MSEL esports League and will continue their season over the next several weeks for another run in the playoffs. Good luck CHIEFTAINS!
