We encourage families to complete online registration as soon as possible. Completing your online registration and fee payment by the Wednesday, June 23, 2021 deadline will save families $25 in registration costs per student. Your student's registration will not be considered complete until you have submitted the online registration and fee payment. You will receive a confirmation email after submission.

With summer approaching, we know that students and families are ready for some downtime. While the summer months are a wonderful opportunity to relax and rejuvenate, the break from the rigors of school can cause a lag in learning. Research demonstrates that students must read at least three challenging books during the summer break simply to maintain fluency and comprehension skills; a minimum of five such books is necessary to improve on any reading weaknesses. In addition, our goal is to foster and encourage a lifelong habit of reading - for pleasure as well as knowledge - in our students.

We have developed summer reading tasks with this in mind. This year, the requirements for each grade level are listed online at DPM Summer Reads. Our hope is that when students are selecting their novels they will choose ones that truly interest them. If your child is unsure about what to read, links to suggested titles are located within the website.

I am writing today about the safety of our student pick-up and drop-off process, and our role as a good neighbor. Our AM/PM cohorts have created new traffic challenges for us. We need to be even more vigilant about adhering to our traffic protocols in an effort to keep our students safe. Use this link to read the entire communication.
