Dear DMS Parents,

Beginning Tuesday, September 8, students will not be permitted to bring or consume coffee drinks during the school day. This decision is intended to support student health and to minimize spills, the sharing of drinks, and disruptions to the learning environment.

Students are encouraged to stay hydrated throughout the day by bringing a refillable water bottle to school.
As a reminder, food, snacks, and other beverages are not permitted during the instructional day unless approved as part of a designated school activity.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work together to maintain a well structured and focused learning environment for all of our DMS Lions!

Respectfully,
Ignacio Alaniz Jr.
Principal

Lions, our Fall Dance is this month! Make sure to purchase your ticket and join in the fun! #OnePride
