FROM THE PRINCIPAL
FINK NEWS
Hello DMS CommUnity!
I hope you had an outstanding week. The DMS spring production of The Music Man will be from Thursday, April 30 through May 2. All
show times are at 7:00pm. Tickets are on sale now during lunch shifts, and will continue through next Thursday. Come on out and
support our wonderful students. I have had the chance to see several of the rehearsals and the show is going to be great! I hope to see
everyone there.
The spring administration of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment will begin on April 27. MAP assessments measure a
student’s growth over time in reading and mathematics. MAP assessments let teachers know where a student’s strengths are and if help is
needed in specific instructional areas. In addition, the spring administration of the PARCC assessment will begin May 4.
Each quarter we conduct our School Improvement Team meeting. During this meeting we examine our current data trends and continue
our discussion walking the path to success. Our next meeting will be this coming week. If you are interested in serving on the committee,
please send me an email as the team is open to all DMS commUnity members.
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Jeffrey Fink
DMS Principal
