DHMS Attendance: A Friendly Reminder!
Students do their best when they arrive to school on time. We suggest that students be dropped off at school by 7:35AM. The doors open at 7:40. Students are expected to be seated in their classes by 7:50.
When you allow your child time to enter school, say hello to friends, go to their lockers, and be in their TA classes by 7:50…. the day starts well…. your child’s mindset is one ready to learn. THANK YOU for making certain that your child arrives to school on time! --From the DHMS Student Support Team

DHMS Science Fair
Thursday, January 13th, 6:00-9:00pm
We need volunteer Science Fair judges! Volunteer judges fill a critical need for these talented young people. Judges learn about a student’s project and evaluate their projects by asking questions and providing feedback. You will make an impact on these students as they start their science journey. Be an inspiration! Orientation/training is on Thursday, January 13th at 6:00pm, with judging taking place from 6:30-9:00pm. Sign up below:
We also need volunteers and contributions for the contestants! (Snacks, check-in table, goody bags, etc). Stay tuned for the sign-up, coming soon!
