Way to go, Madame Linander! She wasn't at the PTSA meeting because she was at the school board meeting!

Dakota Middle School reviews year of piloting a block schedule and plans to continue it for the year ahead Other than when the district’s secondary schools switched to a block schedule during the pandemic, there hasn’t been a school that has had the schedule since the late 1990s.

Yesterday at the PTSA meeting, we learned more about the Student Council’s upcoming talent show and are excited to help spread the word. It’s always wonderful when school groups can work together to support and celebrate our students!

Dakota Middle School's Student Council is thrilled to be hosting our first-ever Dakota's Got Talent. Our Students have been working hard throughout the school year, and we wanted to give our whole school the opportunity to see our participants showcase their talents. We have received many applications for performances, from dances to skits. Our Talent Show will last from
8:35 A.M. to 9:29 A.M. on May 29th.
