Good morning 8th grade parents/guardians, this is Mr. Rogers sending out a message regarding the upcoming freshman orientation night. Last week, BCHS sent letter to all 8th grade families, but after hearing from some of you, it sounds like some of you may not have received that letter. I wanted to send out a message to all of you so you had the information and can get a date on your calendar.
The freshman orientation is scheduled for next Thursday night, 2/20/25, at 5:30 pm in the BCHS Auditorium. They ask that at least one parent/guardian attend with their child. This is a great opportunity to learn about courses offered at BCHS for your child as well as other pertinent information.
If you have any questions regarding freshman orientation, please feel free to call BCHS at 683-2361.
Very Respectfully,
Mr. Rogers
All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls basketball will be done after Tuesday this week. As a reminder, 7th and 8th grade A teams play at home tonight in the DMS Gym (7th-4:30, 8th-5:30). In addition, all 7th and 8th grade teams have games at Butte East tomorrow at 4:00 and 5:00 pm. 6th grade girls practice today and tomorrow. If your daughter is wrestling, they may start with the team on Thursday after school.
Good afternoon, this is Randy Shipman, Superintendent at Dillon Elementary School District with an important announcement regarding bus students being dismissed early today, 2/7/25, due to inclement weather.
Today, all bus riders will be leaving school twenty minutes earlier than normal due to blowing and drifting snow. This will allow our bus drivers to safely navigate the roads and bus students to arrive home safely with a little extra time. Your child may be home a bit early due to the early dismissal time. All other students, other than bus riders, will be dismissed at their regular dismissal time. If you would like to make alternative plans, please contact your child’s office by 1:45 p.m.
As our district remains committed to maintaining timely and relevant communications with staff, families and the community, please contact the office if you have any questions.
Just a reminder that all Robo call transcripts can be found on our district school website and Facebook page.
Thank you and have a great evening.
Due to the weather, all DMS activities have been canceled after school today, 2/7/25. This includes wrestling and all girls basketball practices. If you need to make an alternate plan for your child after school, please call our office at 683-2368, option 2.

Hello DMS parents/guardians, this is Mr. Rogers sending out information regarding our next upcoming middle school dance. The dance is scheduled from 6:00-8:00 pm on Friday, January 17th in the DMS Gym and the cost is $5 for students to attend. The theme of the dance is "Winter Formal" and students must be academically and behaviorally eligible to attend. The DMS dance is a co-curricular event whereas only DMS registered students are allowed to attend. If you child(ren) are not eligible to attend, they will be told on that week.
Being that the dance has a theme of "Winter Formal", students are still expected to abide by the DMS dress code. Students are not allowed to wear any type of Lei necklace, hat, or corset flowers. Please know this is not a formal prom; girls are not expected and are discouraged from buying and/or wearing a prom style dress. A nice pants outfit is acceptable. Boys may wear slacks and a nice button-up shirt if they would like. Students are NOT required to dress up for this dance if they do not want to. Parents/guardians please do not spend or feel pressured to spend a great amount of money on a fancy new dress/outfit to be worn one time.
Reach out to our office at 683-2368, option #2 if you have questions or need clarification.
Very Respectfully,
Mr. Rogers
