Thank you!

DMS After the Bell Club starts October 13.
At After the Bell Club, DMS students have an opportunity to complete missing/incomplete work (especially to be eligible for activities and sports), get caught up from being absent, and/or complete retakes!
After the Bell Club will be offered to any DMS students that need some more time to work on schoolwork Monday through Thursday from 3:15 - 4:30pm in Room 58 (Mrs. Olivarez).
This program will be offered only on full school days Monday through Thursday; not on any early out days. There will be a certified staff member there to help students with their work.
Students will need to show up at the beginning (3:15pm) but may leave when they need if they have a way home. There is a bus available for students that may need it at 4:30 pm, as well. This bus will take students directly to their home, so it will take students longer or shorter to get dropped off based on how many students need to ride the bus that day.
If this sounds like a program your student might benefit from, please enroll here: 2026-2027 21st Century CATS Enrollment Form, Grades K-12 – Fill out form
Students may come anytime they need extra time to work on schoolwork; they do not need to come everyday if they do not have schoolwork to do. If students come to After the Bell Club without first filling out the enrollment form, that is okay! A form will be sent to parent/guardians after the first day in attendance and is good for the whole school year to drop into the club as needed.
