Dawson Middle School PTSO - WELCOME

 

Welcome to Dawson Middle School and welcome to the official website of the DMS Parent, Teacher, Student Organization (DMS PTSO.)  If you are new to DMS, hopefully you will find our website beneficial in discovering how you can take an active role in supporting our administration, staff and students. 

 

Check out our Community Partners to understand how your current neighborhood vendors of products and services can provide a financial benefit to DMS.  A portion of every purchase from Kroger, Tom Thumb, Box Tops, Target and Koalaty Cleaners will be donated to your PTSO.   

 

Please refer back to this website as we do our best to keep you informed of important information and events taking place at DMS.  Make it a GREAT year by getting involved and staying informed!

 

Mark your calendars for the first PTSO meeting of 2015 on Wednesday, January 28 at noon with our guest speakers, Mr. PJ Giamanco (Carroll High School principal) and Dr. Becci Rollins from Carroll High School to discuss the upcoming registration for current 8th graders.
