Halloween Details for Tomorrow!
HI DM Families! Below are the details for tomorrow--Please read!
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.
- Students are allowed and encouraged to wear costumes to school tomorrow. This cuts out the need (and fiasco!) of every student needing to change in the afternoon, especially with our limited bathrooms. This is a change from our earlier messaging.
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
5. General school dress code must be followed.
If a student’s costume is deemed inappropriate, we will contact home for a change of clothes. Please help us to avoid challenging conversations with students about the appropriateness of their costume by adhering to the guidelines above.
If you have any questions about classroom celebrations, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
Halloween Parade at 3:30pm
Families are encouraged to come watch our school-wide costume parade at 3:30pm! Classes will follow the map below and will start promptly at 3:30pm. Students will circulate the perimeter of the blacktop and then head back inside through Door #7. Families are asked to line the outside of the blacktop to allow for a walking path for our students! Adults will not be allowed inside after the parade and are expected to pick up students at their usual dismissal location.
If your student/family does not celebrate Halloween, please let your student's homeroom teacher know! Mr. Lovett is opening up his classroom for students to come down to play games and watch a movie during the Halloween activities at the end of the day. Any and all are welcome to join him!

Quarter 2: New On-Track/Off-Track System for 5th - 8th Grade Students
In alignment with most comprehensive middle schools, we have implemented an on-track/off-track system to support students with accountability and building independence/ownership of their success in school. If you have a 5th - 8th grade student, please read this document to learn more about this system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zxQE8abTTom0gf_g36Xsjazw5T1uxphRrKhi7OqL5lo/edit?usp=sharing
