Dora Moore Middle School Swag - Available for Purchase!
Our middle school students asked for an opportunity to have something just for them… so we went to work, we got their feedback and have it live for ordering! It’s pretty drippy!
If you or your student would like another Dora Moore option for the wardrobe, please consider purchasing--We need a minimum of 45 garments ordered in total to go through with the print!

Action Needed! Dora Moore Student T-Shirt Size Needed For Every Current Student
In support of our value of Community and as a symbol that each student belongs and is a part of our community, we are printing and purchasing Dora Moore student shirts for every student! In order to print the correct amount of each size, we need families to submit their students preferred t-shirt size here: https://forms.gle/WWKArP46eLNisgm48
We cannot guarantee a proper fitting shirt if a family does not submit a size request above.
Survey will be open until 10/23/22!
Behavior and Emotional Screening System (BESS) 3rd - 8th Grade
As part of our effort to support the Whole Child, our school will be implementing a universal social and emotional screening for students. Universal social and emotional screening can provide a fair and impartial way of looking at how students are progressing in their social and emotional development. Screenings can also help identify areas where school personnel can improve or adjust our supports.
The BESS Screener will be given to 3rd - 8th grade students starting on October 18th. To learn more about this screener, take a look at the attached form. If you would not like your student to participate, you must return the opt-out form below (attached) to our school psychologist, Sarah Cherabie, on Tuesday, October 18th. If you have questions about this, you can email Sarah at sarah_cherabie@dpsk12.net
Halloween Plans @ DM
With Halloween right around the corner, we wanted to make sure you had the most up to date information regarding DM's Halloween plans.
All classes will be hosting Halloween activities on Monday, October 31st. We are pairing up our older classes with our younger classes to collaborate on some Halloween activities. This will occur the last hour of the school day (unless otherwise communicated by your child’s teacher), followed by a school-wide costume parade on the playground at 3:30pm. We will publish a map of the parade path as we get closer.
To help us prepare for Halloween festivities, please plan on sending your child with their costume so they can change into it in the afternoon. As a reminder, the following costume rules apply:
1. No fake weapons of any kind (including but not limited to: knives, swords, guns, lasers, lightsabers, etc.)
2. No blood/gore
3. Halloween masks may not be worn during the school day due to safety concerns.
4. Shoes must be dress code appropriate
If a student’s costume is deemed inappropriate, we will contact home for a change of clothes.
Teachers will include classroom specific celebration details in their weekly email. If you have any questions about classroom celebrations, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
