Moving to Middle School
Updated May 28, 2024
A Message from Mrs. Frankhouser
We are moving out of DSMS for the summer for major renovations. We will be housed at the CLL which is the Central Office location for DSISD. Our phone numbers are still the same and we are always available via email.
Student schedules will NOT be final until the first day of school. You MAY be able to see schedules in Skyward in the summer, but don't get excited. Things can and do change before the first day of school. If I were you, I wouldn't even look until you get a message from me that they are ready.
Our counselors will be off contract from June 6 until July 22. They will not have access to email during this time. Schedule-related questions will be answered upon their return.
Typically, before school starts, we have an evening where families can come and walk the building and get familiar. I'm hoping that can happen again this coming year, but the construction will dictate what we are able to do and when we are able to do it. I will share information in the summer newsletters (one in June and one in July).
Stay tuned and have a wonderful summer!

Compacted Math for 6th Graders
Once we receive STAAR scores, some of you will be receiving information about Compacted Math for your child. Compacted Math is 6th & 7th grade math taught in one year during a student's 6th Grade year. It is a challenging and rigorous course and is designed for students who excel in math, excel in organization, and want to accelerate.
For next year, the legislature has mandated that some students be automatically enrolled with a certain STAAR score. Though this course might be perfect for some, it may not be for all who qualify. If you are notified that your child qualifies, you will have the option to opt out if that best suits your child. Stay tuned for communication from the district once STAAR scores are released by TEA.
