Class Transition Duty Map

As you know the hallways during class change have been a primary focus this year. While we have certainly made progress there is still work to be done. The key to safe hallways is supervision. The TRIBAL Council has developed a map to reflect where teachers should be during class transitions.

If you feel like there is a more beneficial post for you please share with your TRIBAL Council representative and we will update the map.

Thank you for your combined effort in making DMS a better school every day.
