MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Cardunal Families,

It's hard to believe that we're already a few weeks into quarter 4! We hope that you have all enjoyed this time off and had the opportunity to recharge. These past few months have been like none other but I'm proud to see how our DMS family has responded. We are extremely thankful for the care and support provided by our D300 community during these past few months as well. There was tremendous support in the form of care packages, well wishes, and in person social/emotional support.

As we enter the spring season we are definitely looking to grow as a school community. Students will have an opportunity to dispaly their growth through iReady testing. We've already made great strides in our iReady lessons so we're excited to see the end result. We've also communicated behavior expectations for 7th & 8th grade in order to end of the year privelages. We have a lot in store for all grade levels so keep an eye out for updated communication.

Our students in Newspaper club made a special tribute edition of the Cardunal Chronicle for Mr. Bishop. Here is the link: https://sites.google.com/d300.org/cardunal-chronicle-edition-3/home
