This clinic is available to all insurance types except PEEHIP. This a great opportunity to receive required/recommended vaccines without having to go to the doctor. The consent has a QR code by each vaccine offered, if the parents want more information on that particular vaccine
Scoliosis Screenings are this week at DHS, DMS, and USJ. Forms were sent home last week.
This is an opt-in program. Parents must have returned these forms signed in order to have their child screened. If we don't receive a form, they will not be screened.

Al embarcarnos en el segundo semestre en DMS, estamos entusiasmados con las oportunidades que se avecinan. Aquí hay algunos recordatorios importantes para ayudar a garantizar un semestre fluido y exitoso:
Recordatorio de la bolsa Yondr
Asegúrese de que su estudiante tenga su bolsa Yondr. Si un estudiante entrega su teléfono a la Sra. Hilchey, ella se comunicará con usted para informarle que su estudiante no tiene bolsa. Las bolsas de repuesto cuestan $30.
Nota: Los relojes digitales también deben colocarse dentro de la bolsa.
Pautas del código de vestimenta
Experimentamos algunas violaciones repetitivas del código de vestimenta durante el primer semestre y agradeceríamos mucho su apoyo para ayudarnos a abordar estos problemas este semestre:
Sin pantalones caídos.
No se permiten pantuflas ni chanclas que parezcan pantuflas.
Las mallas deben combinarse con camisas largas que se extiendan por debajo de la cintura.
No se permiten agujeros en los pantalones por encima de la rodilla a menos que se usen mallas debajo.
Las camisas no pueden estar atadas para exponer la espalda o el abdomen.
Los estudiantes recibirán dos advertencias (la segunda también contendrá un contacto con los padres) antes de que se emita una remisión a la oficina por violaciones del código de vestimenta.
Asistencia
La escuela comienza puntualmente a las 7:45 a.m.. Asegúrese de que su estudiante llegue a tiempo cada mañana.
Gracias por su continua colaboración en la educación de su hijo. ¡Juntos podemos hacer que este semestre sea un éxito!
We will have 2nd Nine Weeks Exams next week.
Dec. 18th - Social Studies and Math Exams
Dec. 19th - Language Arts & Science Exams
Dec. 20th - Make-up Exams - Students will release at 11:30 am
¡Buenas tardes! Aquí hay algunos recordatorios de recogida en días lluviosos:
*6to grado: el área de recogida sigue siendo la misma porque hay toldos para protegerse del clima.
*Séptimo grado: puede pasar por el círculo delantero para recoger a su hijo del porche.
*8vo grado: los estudiantes pueden esperar debajo del toldo en la parte trasera de la escuela y usted puede pasar por el círculo para recoger a su hijo.
No haremos anuncios sobre recogidas en días lluviosos. Si llueve constantemente, siga los procedimientos anteriores.
Fall Fest 2024 was a huge success!! Thank you to our faculty, staff, Plaza Golf Carts, Jeff McAfee, and the Fall Fest Committee. What a way to begin our Thanksgiving break!
Demopolis City Schools will be closed Monday, November 11 for the observance of Veterans Day. Faculty and students will return to school Tuesday, November 12.
Tomorrow, November 5, 2024, please vote YES for the Demopolis City Schools - 5 mill tax renewal. Note: This is NOT a new tax. Demopolis has been paying this one for 30 years and it has to be voted on to be renewed for another 30 years.
This tax provides approximately $1,000,000.00 per year for the DCS school system. Many of the athletics' expenses (maintenance, fields, some coaching stipends, etc), as well as facilities (all buildings) maintenance are provided through this tax since the State Department of Education does not allocate those type expenses. It also provides funds to help pay for teachers that are not funded by state allocations.
Please share this information with your family, friends, neighbors, churches, groups, etc. We NEED this 5 mill tax to be renewed.
