The online school store is LIVE again! Deadline to order is September 15th at 11:59pm. These orders will be available for pickup Sunday October 1st in the YDMS cafeteria. This will be the LAST online store for the 2023-2024 year, which means if you want those jackets and that cold weather gear, this will be the time to make it happen. These items are made to order, which means all sales are final. Please double check whether you are clicking the selection for youth sizes or adult sizes, as there was a little confusion there during the 1st online store. https://ydms2023.itemorder.com/shop/sale/ Here are some tips and observations from the first store: 1. Size up on jackets, especially the smaller ones. 2. A youth xl is the same size as an adult small, but the adult small is longer. 3. Everything will draw up a little when washed. We are working hard to get you what you need. The PTSA thanks you tremendously for your support.

πŸ–€πŸ’›Message from Principal EdwardsπŸ–€πŸ’› Parents and students of YDMS, I hope all of you had a great summer and are ready for the new school year. Just a few notes of importance, leading up to the first day of school: βœ… All 6th graders will report to the gym upon arrival to school August 9, where they will receive their schedules and a warm welcome to YDMS. Sixth grade teachers will escort them to their classes. βœ… Homeroom locations for 7th and 8th graders will be posted in the courtyard and at the end of each wing. Please locate your Homeroom and go directly to class. There will be helpers to assist. Homerooms have also been posted in the windows of the cafeteria for 7th & 8th grade only . You may go up to the school at anytime to view it. βœ… Students will not be able to enter the building until 7:40am. If students arrive earlier than 7:40, they will line up in the front of the school (boys outside, girls inside breezeway) βœ… The carpool line is on the north side of the school (side parking lot). Parents are not allowed to drop off students in the bus ramp until after 7:45 a.m. Please do not drop students off on Youree Drive. βœ… Grab and go breakfast will be available for all students βœ… School will dismiss at 3:25p.m. The bus ramp will not be available for student pickup until 3:35 p.m. Feel free to use the carpool lane for pickup. βœ… The first few days can be a bit hectic but eventually everyone will get the hang of it. We ask for your patience. πŸ–€πŸ’›Thank you and have a Super Spartan Day!
