Friday Fun Before Break

On Friday, April 17th, Team 1 wrapped up the afternoon with a well-earned incentive full of energy and excitement. Students took part in a variety of challenges, including musical chairs, trivia, a rock-paper-scissors tournament, and more. There was plenty of friendly competition, lots of laughs, and a great sense of community throughout. It was a fun and memorable way to head into break!

Supporting Student Well-Being at DY Middle School

DYM is working to bring a school-based counseling program to our school in partnership with Child & Family Services (CFS). Once we have enough interested students and required paperwork is completed, we will be able to offer this support during the school day. CFS provides counseling services for students experiencing emotional, behavioral, or mental health concerns. Services are delivered by licensed therapists, billed through medical insurance, and include collaboration with school staff. If you are interested in this opportunity for your child, please review the information attached about the CFS Outreach Counseling Program and complete the steps for your child to be involved.
