What is ARK?
At DMS we follow ARK in our building. ARK stands for: Accountability, Responsibility, and Kindness.
Accountability - taking ownership of your actions, good or bad.
Responsibility - doing what you need to do in a timely manner.
Kindness - be respectful and kind to all.
When students are following ARK they are able to earn Cardunal Cash to use at our school stores, enter quarterly raffle prizes, and teachers may use them for incentives in the classroom.
Starting in January we asked staff to keep an eye out for students who are showing ARK behaviors. We asked staff to nominate students who have shown improvements in academics, attendance, or behavior. Students could also be nominated, because they have gone above and beyond to help their fellow classmates. The following students earned a positive referral for the month of February:
Kenzo Nguepi, Addy Kelly, Hugo Weingart, Madison McAuliffe, Mykola Lunov, Omar Suarez, Wade Vandercamp, Silas Hart, Orla Lukes, Johnny Konkey, Sam Lesko, Tenley Dyer, Sophie Lopez, Ailani Ta, Pilark Hernandez- Rey, Diana Gomez, Hailey Church
Our ARK Quarter 3 Celebration will be held on Friday, March 13th during grade level PE blocks. 6th Grade: Periods 2 & 3, 7th Grade: Periods 7 & 8, and 8th Grade: Periods 5 & 6. During our celebration we will be looking at celebrations, pulling for our Quarterly Raffles, Perfect Attendance, play some relay games like Head Sholders Knee Cup, and Grocery Bag Toss.
Quarterly Raffles are: St. Patricks Themed Mystery Basket, Gift Card, or Gym Time to shoot hoops with 3 friends.
The main event will be Dodgeball. Students who would like to participate can, and those who choose not to will watch. Students will also have the opportunity to play against teachers. We will see who comes out on top students or staff!
