Welcome to D-C Middle School
"Together We're Better"
Third Trimester Incentive Activities
At the end of the year our students are given an opportunity to participate in various activities designed to reward positive academic performance and good behavior they have maintained during the third trimester. This year 5th grade students will, again, go to the Becker Community Center, 6th grade will go to the Monticello Community Center, and grades 7 and 8 will go to Valleyfair. Students who have earned a failing grade or who have failed to qualify for the reward trip because they do not meet the behavior criteria will be expected to at-tend school on the day of the reward trip just as they would on any other day. They will spend the day trying to improve their grades and helping staff at school. Students who do not qualify for this activity will receive a notification letter from our office.
Immunizations: Reminder to 6th Grade Parents
Our school health office has already started sending out notices reminding parents of the need to have student immunizations brought up to date before the school year begins next fall. This is especially important for students entering 7th grade, since state law forbids school attendance in that grade without current immunization records. Unfortunately, the school has been placed in the unpleasant position of sending students home on the first day of school because their updated immunization records had not been delivered to our office. Please make certain that your child has current records on file before the start of the school year.
Summer School: June 6-29
Our summer school program is an excellent opportunity for students to spend their June mornings improving their math and reading skills. The program is designed to assist any students who could benefit from additional instruction and for students who have failed a course throughout the school year.
Classes for students in grades 5- 6 are taught in multi-grade clusters and focus on math and reading skills. Classes for 7th grade students include remediation in math and reading and a service project. 8th grade students focus on developing skills and goals necessary for high school success.
Summer school instructors are Ms. Runquist, Ms. Athmann, Mr. Randy Johnson, and Mr. Bessingpas. Classes will be held Monday through Friday from 7:45-11:00 starting June 6 and ending June 29.
If your child has failed a class this year and needs to complete summer school in order to advance to the next grade, you will receive a letter from us. If you would simply like to enroll your child in summer school to take advantage of the additional instruction, we will have enrollment forms available in the middle school office in early May. If you have any questions regarding summer school, please contact me at 286-4100 ext. 1604.
