I would like to thank all of the parents who attended the Middle School Open House on Thursday night. It is always nice to see everyone as they walk an evening in their children's footsteps.
It is hard to believe we are already into our third week of classes. Some upcoming events for the MS include Picture Day on October 5 and 6. Students will have their pictures taken in their Physical Education classes on those days.
We also have our second MS Dance on September 30th. This dance is sponsored by the class of 2013.
In October we will also be conducting the first round of a new assessment called the NWEA. This assessment will be given three times a year in math. reading, and language. Its purpose is to provide teachers with an accurate, measurable benchmark of student knowledge, skill level, and progress so they can better meet the needs of our students. There will be more information on the NWEA in the upcoming weeks.
On Oct. 4, the sixth-grade class will be attending a concert entitled "Bach to Beatles". The concert will take place in the afternoon at the Elementary School. Students will be bused to the ES at 12:30 p.m. for the 1 p.m. concert. After the concert students will either participate in a band clinic or music activity hosted by the DCS Music Department. The students will board the buses at the Elementary School on time for a regular dismissal. Thank you Mrs. Waltz for inviting us!
