To celebrate Halloween, Ms. Childress's sixth-grade math students received a sweet reward for their hard work! They solved multistep word problems with partners, and if they solved a problem correctly, they got to go trick-or-treating at the front of the classroom.
It was a beautiful day for the DMS Girls on the Run: Heart & Sole team to run their practice 5K on the Virginia Creeper Trail!

Good afternoon,
We were all heartbroken when we learned that Cameron Craig had lost his life in the line of duty as a local Firefighter. The services to honor his sacrifice will occur on Wednesday afternoon and the procession will have a tremendous impact on traffic in our community. In order to honor Cameron's ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that our buses and car traffic do not interfere with the procession, all Washington County Public Schools will dismiss 2 hours early on Wednesday, October 25. Childcare will be available at all middle and elementary schools for working families who need that service. Each school will provide individual details prior to Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding. We know you join us in loving, supporting, and praying for everyone involved.
Thank you,
Keith Perrigan, Ed.D.
