Message from Principal Lehman
I hope this newsletter finds you staying warm and healthy as we work our way
through the coldest part of 2022.

I was recently reminded that we are nearing our 100 days of the school year
mark - and the end of another year is now closer than the beginning. I'm
excited to see what the next few months brings as we head into the final
laps. We're going to keep working strong and keep doing great things.                 Upcoming Date
                                                                                       Reminders:
Stay warm. Stay focused. Stay strong. Thank you for your continued support of
DCEMS.

Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner. We will continue to use
our online Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling website. Please note that our
                                                                                       February 13-28:
middle school conference times fill up quickly. You will have an option to
sign-up for an in-person conference, a virtual conference via Webex, an email           Hygiene Drive

a virtual conference, you will be sent a specific Webex link to follow for each          February 18:

As you are aware, we serve students in the “house concept” here at the middle
school. Our houses are made up of the five core subjects (English, Language             February 24:
Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies). In an effort to increase the availability of      Parent Teacher
conference time slots to accommodate more parents, a “house conference” will             Conferences
involve either two or three of your student’s core teachers and that group of           3:00-7:30 pm
teachers will share information about all core subjects. In addition, you may also
schedule individual conferences with your students' encore teachers,
interventionists, guidance counselors, and administrative staff.                           March 3:

Action for Happiness Calendar
We need each other more than ever right now! This month let's focus on reaching out to connect with
others and doing our best to be a good friend. Our acts of kindness and connection ripple out and impact so
many more people than we realize - and they also boost our own happy hormones too! In stressful times
people around us may be feeling the strain, so let's try to keep calm, take time to listen and show compassion.

Promoting Kindness
Middle school can be a difficult time for students when it comes to peer relationships. We work hard to make
sure that students are kind to one another and to staff. Talking to your kids about being kind and modeling
that behavior at home is helpful. Here are some ideas on how to add kindness to family routines.
