The end of the year brings moments of reflection, gratitude and celebration. Next week, our 6^thand 7^thgraders will be celebrating all their hard work and growth over the last few months with their end of the year class parties. More importantly, our 8^thgraders will be walking across our graduation stage and beginning their next adventure as high school students.

At the beginning of the year I shared with the students what I believe it means to be a member of our school community. I asked our students to Be Involved - in our classroom, school and community. I reminded them to Be Kind - to themselves and to others.

Thank you to all community members who were able to join us for our annual Open House. It was a wonderful evening highlighting our students, their demonstration of learning, and our dedicated teaching staff. For me, it was yet another reminder of what an amazing place Del Mar Middle School is, and how fortunate I am to work in service of your children!

Last night, Del Mar hosted a parent education program presented by representatives from Being Adept. For many years, with the support from our PTA, Del Mar has partnered with Being Adept to provide alcohol, drug, and tobacco education and prevention tools to all of our students; coupled with a parent education component.

Classroom teachers are directly responsible for notifying parents of possible failing grades. Whenever it becomes evident to a teacher that a student is in danger of not making adequate academic progress in a course, the teacher must send the parent/guardian written notification or arrange a conference, either in person or by phone, with the student's parent/guardian.
