Important News & Upcoming Events
American Education Week
In honor of AEW, DMS will cordially invite parents and guardians (siblings are not permitted) to DMS on Tuesday, November 17 (for 6th-grade parents only) and Thursday, November 20 (for 7th- and 8th-grade parents only) for our annual “Bring Your Parent to School Day.” All visitors must sign in on Lobby Guard. Please bring your ID to the login options under American Education Week. Visitor badges will be issued and must be visible at all times during your stay.
Parent Lunch Visits
Due to safety concerns, parent lunch visits are no longer permitted at HCPSS schools.
Given the number of parents/guardians and guests who visit schools during American Education Week (Nov. 16-20), HCPSS can only accommodate classroom visits and cannot make exceptions to allow for visits during lunch. In addition, parents/guardians are not permitted to attend recess.
Please plan American Education Week visits accordingly based on your child’s school and/or class schedule.
Thank you for your understanding. HCPSS looks forward to welcoming families during your child’s class time for American Education Week.
Backpack Guidelines SY 2026-27
As a reminder, students may not carry tote bags during the instructional day in place of backpacks. We highly recommend that parents and guardians purchase a protective Chromebook cover with a strap or handle and a pocket for carrying small school supplies.
Visiting DMS? You must have a photo ID to sign in.
