"Shaping the Future...Making Connections"
Our Mission Statement:
The mission of Dutch Fork Middle School, in partnership with our community, is to ensure that our students succeed through a rigorous academic program in a nurturing environment.
Parents,
If you would like to combine homework calendars for different teachers into one calendar that you can save as a favorite, follow the instructions below:
• From the DFMS website, under Fast Facts on the left, click on Teacher Pages.
• Under one teacher's name, click "Add to Favorites".
• Go to the top and click on "Show". That teacher's name should appear at the top in a favorites list.
• Click on the rest of the teachers you would like to include and then click "Done".
A new calendar will appear with all of the favorite teachers' calendars combined into one. Don't forget to bookmark the webpage. The you can simply visit that page to see the combined calendar rather than visiting each teacher's individually.

One Free Valentine's Day bundle will be won by a seventh grade student and one by an eighth grade student.
