Hello DMS parents/guardians, our DMS wrestling season will begin after school on Monday, 2/3/25.

There is a parent meeting in the DMS gym on Tuesday, 2/4/25 after practice at 5:30 pm. DMS wrestling is open to 6th-8th grade boys and girls. As a reminder, 6th graders cannot miss school during the week to attend wrestling meets/matches (we have two Saturday events they can attend).

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

Please join Dillon Middle School for their Annual Holiday Concert this Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
Dear families of Dillon Middle School Band and Choir students,
All the students have been working very hard this semester to expand their skills. They are eager to show you what they have learned. Their concert is Thursday, December 19th at 7 pm. Concerts are a required part of all DMS music classes and are a large portion of the student’s grade.
Students will need to arrive at the DMS Library at 6:15 pm wearing their concert appropriate clothes.
A concert is a special time for your students to impress you, and their peers, with their skills. As such, it is all important for students to dress up for the occasion. Dressing up includes khaki’s, dress slacks, button up shirts, and dresses that are school appropriate in length. It does not include jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and tee shirts with graphic logos on it.
If you have any questions about the concert, the concert report time, or the concert dress expectations please feel free to reach out to me. Email is best.
Thank you,
Jessica Kidd , DMS Band and Choir Teacher
