School Committees

Our families are an intricate part of the school structure at DMCS. Parents volunteer in classrooms, lead library time, coordinate recess, and donate their time to support the school by assisting on various committees. 

All committees are open for parent involvement. If you are interested in a committee, please contact our principal, at his email link by clicking on his name, Bob Seidel, or call the school at 334-7706.

School Board - Our school board serves to help direct our school in school management decisions. Monthly, they review all committee reports, discuss pertinent information, and make recommendations to our principal. We will post monthly meeting minutes once they are approved. If you wish to talk with any of our board members, click on their name below to email them a note. Meetings are monthly and published on the school calendar.
