The Riflemen Weekly Update
News from DMMS for the Week of August 25, 2024
A Message from Ms. O'Donnell
Dear Daniel Morgan Middle School Students and Families,
This week we will have our first PBIS celebration. On Friday, students will participate in an afternoon of fun outdoor activities. We will send home a permission slip tomorrow. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please return it. If you want them to participate, you do not need to return anything. Students should bring a change of clothes, bathing suit, towel, and money for the concession stand.
We are beginning to see more dress code violations. As a reminder, students are not allowed to wear pajama pants to school. In addition, bandanas are prohibited and students should not wear crop tops that show their stomachs.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. If I can ever be of any assistance, feel free to reach out to me at any time. Let's make it a great week!
Beth O'Donnell

Road Closure Information
Due to the necessity to replace the existing old water and sewer pipes, Winchester City will be closing National Avenue to through traffic from the traffic circle at the Timbrook Police Station to the intersection with North Pleasant Valley Road (see attached map). The project will begin September 3, 2024 and should take about 4 months. Please be aware we anticipate travel disruptions for WPS bus transportation. Woodstock Lane will be established as the detour route during the project for through traffic. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this disruption to schedules and the associated traffic. New bus stop locations for students living on or near National Avenue, that require a new stop to get to their bus, will be sent home by Wednesday August 28, 2024
