Text Box: Dear Parents,
On behalf of the teachers and staff at Dunlap Middle School, I want to welcome everyone back to school. I invite you and your children to take advantage of the numerous school activities planned this year. To help insure your family benefits from every opportunity, we encourage you to visit our website at www.dunlapcusd.net/dms.    Up-to-date information including daily announcements, photos of recent events, extracurricular activities, and monthly newsletters will be posted.

Text Box: Back to School Night
Please come enjoy an evening meeting your child’s teachers on Tuesday, August 30 at 6:30 pm.   Your son/daughter should tell you where their first hour class is located.  Ask them for it before you leave!  Make sure you plan on getting to the school a little early to avoid the congested parking.  We hope to see you all here!
Text Box: A few things to know…..
1.  All parents are welcome to Dunlap Middle School.  We ask, for security reasons, that you report to the office each time you enter the building.  Thank you for understanding.
2.  If you are picking up your child after school, we ask that you do not park directly in front of the building as it becomes a hazard for children crossing the street.  Generally, parents line up in the staff parking lot and wait for their children to meet them there.
3.  We no longer have voice mail for our staff members.  If you need to reach one of us, please call the office and leave a message with one of our secretaries (Mrs. Wenskus or Mrs. Kamin).  You can also use e-mail to get in touch with a staff member.
4.  The DMS food service is happy to serve your child delicious food.  Ala carte items (such as milkshakes, fruit drinks, etc…) cost extra.  Your son or daughter can ask the cashier each day how much money is remaining on their account – I would encourage them to do this often to avoid a negative balance (they are not allowed to purchase a meal with a negative balance).
