DCMS Shout-Outs:

Attendance and Finals Exemption Reminders:
Oklahoma State Attendance Laws limit the number of absences per semester to 10 regardless of the reason for the absence (unless it is for a school activity). If your child is absent and has seen a doctor, please provide doctor’s office verification slips to our DCMS office. This allows us to code the absence as “Medical” for being under the care of a physician. We do not have finals exemptions at DCMS; all students take their finals. However, it is important to remember that your child must be in school 90% of the semester in order to receive credit (promotion to the next grade level).

Our DCMS students had amazing spirit at our last pep assembly and both grades won the spirit stick! Their award of a PJ Day will take place next Friday, March 6th.
