What Is New at DMS

DMS Office Carl Robidoux, Assistant Principal

At DMS we recently held our Open House and were able to showcase some of the improvements and upgrades that were made over the summer. New ceilings and lighting were installed in our hallways, and the carpeting was replaced with tiles in the main office and guidance area. Also, with the support of the Dartmouth Education Foundation and the school district we were able to set up two new computer labs at DMS. The labs will be used to teach and reinforce Math and English skills using several software applications. Each instructor is certified in their subject area and has received training using the various software applications. Students will be assigned to the labs during their special area time, and will be able to interact with the lessons using the Smart Response Remotes.

The students in our 7th and 8th grades will be eligible to attend World Language classes this year during their special area time. A new series of textbooks for the Spanish classes were purchased by the district.

DEF Sponsored Smart BoardThe PTO has generously donated money for technology upgrades at DMS. This has allowed all of our 6th grade Math teachers to now have SmartBoards in their classrooms. Additionally, our 7th and 8th grade Science and Social Studies teachers will now have AV Carts with laptop and projectors to supplement their instruction and give the greater access to internet sources. Thanks PTO!

We appreciate all the parents that were able to attend our Open House and look forward to working with you throughout the school year. Please visit the DMS website http://dartmouthps.dms.schoolfusion.us to stay connected to all the events happening here.
