Principal's Message: Dear Parents and Guardians, Thank you for helping your children engage in our new live class meetings, and for overseeing their focus on completion of school work as we pass the mid-way point of our third and final trimester, a trimester like no other. Even Though Distant, We Are Here For You!
Please continue to read about important logistical items where your help is needed. With Gratitude, Brian Lynch, Principal Locker Cleanout As you know, each student has two lockers at Del Mar, and many of those lockers are filled with (possibly dirty)PE uniforms, running shoes, books, iPad chargers, notebooks, random papers, etc. etc. We are hoping to get them cleared out soon, and have come up with a plan that keeps within the social distancing guidelines. We are asking that you come to school (hopefully with your student who may be needed to assist) at the following date and time, depending on your student's last name. If you cannot make it to school during your designated time, please email back and we can make other arrangements. If driving, you may pull into the parking lot and park your car, and then head toward the locker rooms on the blacktop. Properly masked and gloved staff will be on site to gather items from the locker room and bring them to you. After, you will head up toward the quad area to retrieve items from the quad lockers. You will take your locks with you as well, which the students will bring back to reuse next year. Please bring a bag with you. Locker pick up schedule by Date/Time/First letters of last name: Thursday, 4/30:
Friday, 5/1:
Basketball Jersey Return If you were on a basketball team this year, please locate your jersey (and shorts if you had them) and return them when you come to Del Mar for locker cleanup next week! We need to account for all of our Del Mar Dragon uniforms, which were brand new to the school this past season. Library Book Return Do you have any library books that you are finished with? PLEASE bring them next week as well. If you are still reading, however, please continue and know that all due dates have been changed to May 29. Library books will also be collected when iPads are returned. Thank you! Yearbooks Our Del Mar Yearbook PRE-SALE STARTS NOW!! Plus--Mr. Nielsen Needs YOUR HELP! The yearbook promises to be colorful, fun and packed with spirited photos and memories of Del Mar this year! Plus more good news: the price of the yearbook is going down from previous years...to $30 per book. Please go to this Schoolpay link to pre-purchase your yearbook now. Please note: this is the first time we are selling Del Mar yearbooks, so if you think you paid at the beginning of the year, that may have been for Reed or Bel Aire. Our yearbook will have a new Distance Learning section! Can you please send in a picture of your child working from home, or your child along with a project they are completing at home? We are squeezing in a new section into our already packed yearbook with some pictures from the last several weeks. These photos need to be in by the end of NEXT week-by May 1st! Do you have any sports team photos from any of our Del Mar teams this year? Mr. Nielsen can use a few more. Please email all yearbook photos to our yearbook class teacher, Mr. Nielsen at: [email protected] Graduation News Thanks so much to our volunteer PTA Graduation committee chairs, Cynthia Keneally, Becky Miller and Lisa Churton, for working so hard this year to celebrate our graduating 8th graders. While Del Mar's traditional graduation, parade and party cannot be held due to the Shelter-in-Place restrictions, the committee chairs and staff have some fun alternative ideas to celebrate and wish our students well as they end their years with the Reed Union School District and commence their high school journey. To those parents of 8th graders who have already contributed to the graduation festivities, we thank you very much! We will continue to use the funds toward our revised Graduation 2020 efforts, which will include a lawn sign for each graduate, a memory slide show, a video montage and recorded graduation ceremony, several big banners around town congratulating our graduates, as well as a special gift bag and diploma mail out. For anyone who would prefer a refund, please contact Laurie Kristy at [email protected] by May 8th. After May 8th, we will consider the contribution to be a donation to Del Mar PTA, in support of graduation and other PTA-funded activities at Del Mar. Footloose! Thank you so much for all of the hard work done by the actors and actresses in preparing for our 2020 musical, Footloose, especially our parent volunteer producers, Linda Lake and Shannon Bishop. Even though the show could NOT go on this year, we have a pair of tech savvy volunteer students, Xin Van Horn and Luke Barnard, who have been working hard to produce a Zoom video of the Footloose finale song, that will be sent out to everyone as soon as it is complete. Volunteer Opportunities Del Mar PTA's Charitable Outreach/Service Learning Chair, Kati Seymore, has compiled a list of local volunteers who have put together projects to help those in need during these unprecedented times of Covid-19. Please go to this LINK to read about all sorts of opportunities, and feel free to email Kati to add more opportunities for our students and families to get involved with. Attention 6th Grade Parents From Nurse Alison Mankin: Proof of the following immunizations is required prior to your student beginning 7th grade:
Please check your child's Immunization Record now. Most of your children will already have had all but the TDaP booster shot. If your child is missing any of the required immunizations, you should schedule an appointment with your child's primary care provider as soon as possible. Most pediatricians will be providing special office visits for required immunizations during the COVID-19 shelter in place order. If your child has already had all required immunizations, please BRING a hard copy to school next Thursday or Friday when you come to clear your locker, or mail it to us at Del Mar Middle School, 105 Avenida Miraflores, Tiburon, CA 94920, as soon as possible. Stay home and stay healthy! Nurse Alison Comments are closed.
