Kindness Challenge
DCMS Family,
While we have a zero tolerance policy on bullying, we try to get creative on ways to prevent it. Here at DCMS, to rally against bullying, we are focusing on the positive we can do here at school. We are going to highlight Random Acts of Kindness. When you witness a student say or do something nice to/for someone (in the hallway, in your classroom, in the lunchroom, etc.) you can reward that student with a Random Act of Kindness ticket!
The student's first AND last name will be written on the back of the ticket and put into the BRIGHT YELLOW box in the FRONT office. Every Friday, Mr. Williams will pull several names for a prize and announce the winners over the intercom!
Finally, don't forget that our school will be promoting bullying prevention by participating on the following days:
*Wear ORANGE on Wednesday, October 16th for National Bullying Prevention Unity Day
Shoeboxes for Soldiers
Shoeboxes for Soldiers flyers have been delivered to students. Students can start bringing in boxes/items next week and turn them into their history teacher. The deadline is Friday, October 25.
Last year, we collected about 250 boxes! We encourage our students to beat that number this year!! 🙂
Thanks for helping to make this a successful service project for DCMS! 🙂

Parents- For access to your child's schedule, attendance, and grades please make sure you have access to Parent Portal. If you need your password reset or a new account set up, please email a copy of your photo ID to dcms.records@dcsms.org.

Medical Forms
As the 2024-25 school year approaches, please remember that if your child has a medical condition, we need a healthcare plan completed by your student's pediatrician on file at school in case of an emergency. To locate healthcare plans, go to the Desoto County School website homepage, click on "Menu". Next, go to the "Quick Links" column and click on Parents, then on Required Health Forms. Choose and print the specific care plan needed from that list. Once it has been signed by you AND your child's physician, please scan/email it to your school nurse or have your student bring it directly to the school nurse. Our school nurse is Jennifer Youngblood. You can contact her at jennifer.youngblood@dcsms.org.
