The month of April was a busy one with state testing, sporting events, activities and learning! As we begin to turn the corner towards next school year, please continue to reach out to teachers and staff about your student's success. If you haven't already, check Infinite Campus to see your student's current grades and attendance. Thank you and we look forward to finishing the school year strong!

If you have driven past the building recently, you may have noticed a new addition! Sitting on the lawn next to our south parking lot entrance are our new Clothes Bins! Clothes Bin is a convenient way to recycle clothes, shoes, and other textiles that you would otherwise throw out over donating due to stains, tears, or quality. It is not a replacement for donation. The bins are to help reduce landfill waste. Everyone in the community is welcome to use it!

You can find more about the operation at the Clothes Bin website.

See the flyer below!

DMPS has partnered with Iowa Clinic for one last round of sports physicals during this school year. There are options at middle schools and high schools nearby and this is a great opportunity for students to get a sports physical for free. Any physicals completed in May will be good for all of next school year so don't miss your chance at these clinics. More information about how to sign up can be found at this web page:
