From The Principal's Desk


Dear DCMS Families,

The weeks go so fast but not as fast as a 4-day week. Thursday is our competitive season home opener games for Baseball and Volleyball. Our student-athletes have worked very hard to get to this point. Please help me cheer on our teams and students to a successful season. Remember that the Clear Bag policy is in effect for all attendees in the gym.

 

All the best,

Mr. Akhbari

Make Your Annual PTO Donation Today! We're 29% to our goal.

Please consider making a donation to support the students, teachers, and staff at Desert Canyon Middle School. Your contribution will go to the PTO and help fund various school activities, educational programs, and events throughout the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Our fundraising goal for this year is $40,000.
It's worth noting that if we reach our fundraising goal by September 30, we won't need to fundraise any further during this school year!

If you haven't already, would you kindly consider making a minimum donation of $65 to help us reach our goal?
