Lunch Clubs are happening every day of the week!​
The PTA has supplied carts, table tennis equipment, chess sets, art supplies, kinetic sand, and more! We have student-led, teacher-led, AND parent-led clubs. Lego Cart is a very easy job to sign up for. (We have all the supplies and you simply roll out the cart and enjoy the fun!) We would love more people to join us during lunch recess. There is demand to add another day of Chess Club or Table Tennis Club if we could get a few more volunteers to commit one day a week.

School Communications 

​Family Newsletter (Weekly)
Every Saturday, you will receive an email from Mrs. Domingo, your principal, with updates and important information. Remember, that Smore newsletters can be translated into many languages. Please take the time each week to review this information. This year, we will be consolidating the information from both our school and our PTA so that you have one email each week to review school and district updates.

PTA Newsletter (Monthly)
Our PTA will be sending out a monthly newsletter beginning in September. The Newsletter will be a way for us to share how we have been supporting our school and will provide updates for specific events. Periodically, we will send reminders for time sensitive events. 

District Communication
Please make sure your email address is correct in ParentVue so that you receive all school and district communications. They use PeachJar as their electronic flyer system. If you are new to DMUSD, no action is required on your part, you will receive a welcome email where you can determine your email preferences. All parents can determine and update your email preferences in the settings of PeachJar.
