MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Cardunal Families,

We hope you are all enjoying your spring break. A huge thank you to families and students for helping out with the 5 Essentials Survey. The feedback will really help with our school improvement plans. The students did a great job with IAR (Illinois Assessment for Readiness) and the 8th graders took the ISA (Illinois Science Assessment) as well. Coming back from break we'll be in week 3 of the 4th quarter. The first Wednesday (4/9) back will be a late start and our Washington D.C. trip departs on Thursday 4/10. The following week we'll do our last iReady benchmark testing on 4/15 & 4/16. After that there will be no student attendance on both 4/17 & 4/18. 

Parent Association is looking for DMS families interested in helping out. They have a meeting on Monday 4/7 at DMS at 7 PM if you're interested. Our spring season is in full swing with Track and Field starting up once we get back form break and our Musical is soon to go live at the end of the month. Also towards the end of the month and continuing through May we'll have our Spring concerts series. 

Thank you to all the families, students, and staff that make DMS such a great place. We truly appreciate your partnership in creating the best educational experience for our students.

Sincerely,

Leo LaBrie

Principal, DMS
