Hello Terrier's
Welcome to this week's edition of the DeLand Middle Newsletter! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed.
School News and Updates
Welcome back to a fantastic start! Last week, our Terriers kicked off the 2027 school year with incredible energy, focus, and dedication to their learning. We are so proud of the positive momentum everyone has brought to campus.
As we dive fully into the semester starting this week, we want to ensure all of our students are set up for success:
Dress for Success:
As a reminder, all students are expected to follow the school and district dress code guidelines.
Unplug and Focus:
Our electronic device policies are now in full effect. Please make sure phones and personal devices are put away from 9:00a to 4:15p so everyone can stay fully engaged in class.
