Welcome!
We are excited to welcome you to our Middle School!
Our goal is for students in grades 7-8 to feel welcomed and have the opportunity to explore multiple subjects and academic topics throughout the year.
We hope you are looking forward to the fresh start of a new year. We certainly look forward to smiling students returning to our halls, classrooms, and cafeteria very soon!

Dallastown Area School District is proud to implement our CARES initiative through all levels of our students' academic journey. Through CARES we can help students become Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, Ethical, and Service-Minded members of the Dallastown community. During our school year students will be encouraged to show these qualities in their daily routines. Together we will show that a community that cares, follows the Wildcat Way.
A community that CARES follows the Wildcat Way!
C.A.R.E.S. Period
C.A.R.E.S. Period
On your student's schedule you will see that they will return to each core class/teacher once per cycle (4 out of 6 days). During this time, students receive academic support and enrichment while building a sense of community and belonging with their section/class and their team. We will also use this time to review school expectations to ensure a respectful and safe environment for all in our building. On the days they do not have C.A.R.E.S., students will have Phys. Ed. on their schedule.
