Dear House of Dragons,

Congratulations—we have reached the end of another incredible school year!

As we reflect on this journey, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to you for your unwavering support, partnership, and trust. This year’s success would not have been possible without the strong connection between home and school. Because of you, our students were able to grow academically, socially, and emotionally—and we are so proud of all they have accomplished.

Together, we achieved significant academic gains across multiple areas, and that progress is a direct reflection of the collective effort of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for standing with us and reinforcing that #LearningIsRequired.

As we close out the school year, this is an important reminder that all 8th grade students must return their laptops and chargers tomorrow, May 26. Please ensure both items are submitted, as missing materials may result in an obligation that could impact high school registration.

To our 8th grade families, this moment is especially meaningful. Your children are preparing to take the next big step into high school, and we could not be more proud. They are leaving DJMS stronger, more confident, and ready for what lies ahead.

We wish each of our 8th grade students the very best as they begin this new chapter. Continue to dream big, stay focused, and carry the lessons learned here with you. And always remember—once a Dragon, always a Dragon. You will always have a home here.

Thank you again for your continued partnership and support throughout this school year. We wish you and your family a safe, restful, and joyful summer.

#LearningIsRequired

At Denn John Middle School, we believe that positive behaviors should be recognized and celebrated. That’s why we use the PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework to help students grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.

Our PBIS values are represented by F.I.R.E.:

Students are rewarded with Dragon Dollars when they show these values in action. Each month, students can use their Dragon Dollars to participate in exciting school events and activities. This not only motivates students but also reinforces the importance of good behavior and strong character.

Thank you, parents, for supporting us in encouraging students to live out our values each day! Together, we are building a school culture where #LearningIsRequired and Dragons thrive.
