The War Cry
This year, DCSC will be participating in the ILEARN Checkpoints Pilot through the state. We have replaced our regular NWEA testing in the fall and spring with these Checkpoints. We are excited to see the data we get back to better track student growth and progress toward mastery of grade level skills throughout the year.
Please review the attachments below for more grade-specific details on what the Checkpoints will look like.
Our tentative testing dates at DCMS are as follows:
- Checkpoint 1: October 8th to October 10th
- Checkpoint 2: December 9th to December 11th
- Checkpoint 3: March 11th to March 13th
Spring Summative dates will be determined at a later date. The checkpoint dates are subject to change, based on student need and testing accommodation requirements.
If you have any questions about the Checkpoints Pilot, please let me know.
Have a wonderful weekend!

The Nutrition Club provides supplemental weekend food for children at North, South, and Middle School each Friday during the school year. We all struggle at some point. The goal of this program is to ease a bit of the struggle. You are welcome to sign-up at any point during the school year. The food will be sent home in a plastic bag that can fit inside a school backpack or be carried. You only complete one form per family. List all of your children that you would like to participate. Each child in your family will receive their own cinch sack or bag on Fridays throughout the school year. This program is the result of the generosity of the Danville community! Please contact Chrissy Larkin with any questions. clarkin9893@aol.com or 317-563-2498.
