Message from the Principal

***The Winter Music Program will be on Monday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Dowagiac Middle School. The program includes grades K, 1st, 2nd, and Special Chorus. We look forward to seeing everyone!***

Please make sure to check the weather everyday. Students will be going outside for recess and Michigan weather can change drastically from one day to the next. Without snow attire, students have to stay on the pavement to try and keep them dry.

Reminder to our bus rider families: Please make sure that students are at their bus stop, ready to hop on the bus, 5-10 minutes early each day. This helps our drivers to try and keep routes on schedule!!! Thank you!

ATTENDANCE

It is very important that students are in school everyday, but the school realizes that there are some reasons for excused absences. Please make sure to call the school (269-782-4468) and let us know when your student is going to be absent.

*If your student(s) is running late, please bring them to the office and sign them in. 

*If you need to pick up your child early for any reason please call the office 269-782-4468.
