Purposeful Assessment

Assessment at DMS is about growth, not just grades. We use common expectations and consistent grading practices to ensure fairness. Students demonstrate their learning through a variety of ways, including creative challenges like the Clash of the Competencies, which showcases mastery of important skills and knowledge

Our Commitment to Families

We believe education is a partnership. Through daily communication, morning meetings, and family events, we keep parents engaged and connected. Together, we build a strong community that supports every child’s journey.
