• Educational Tools and Resources

    At DMS we firmly believe that the stronger the connection between home and school, the bigger benefit is for our students.

    Research has shown that a strong home-school connection allows for:

    • students to do better in school.
    • teachers to gain higher levels of self-esteem.
    • parents to become more empowered and invested in their child's life.

    Students also tend to have higher attendance rates, better social skills, and an increased graduation rate when this support network is in place.

    The resources listed below are tools that we use in our classrooms to help support students. These can be accessed at home to help them with their work and to help build their understanding with concepts and standards.

    Need more ideas on how to help at home?
