Upcoming DMS April Events!
The Dardanelle School District is closely monitoring the potential for severe weather in our area. Our schools are prepared.
In the event of severe weather warnings in our area, bus departures will be delayed, and staff will pause car pick-up services until conditions improve.
In the event of an active tornado threat, staff will shelter in our Saferooms with students.
Parents/guardians will be allowed to check out their student when it is safe to do so.
Bus delays and any other weather-related updates will be posted immediately on our social media platforms.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
Spring Break is almost here, Dardanelle Middle School! Enjoy your well-deserved time off next week, relax, and recharge! See you after the break! 🌷☀️ #SpringBreak #DMS
¡La Semana de Primavera ya casi está aquí, estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Dardanelle! ¡Disfruten de su merecido descanso la próxima semana, relájense y recarguen energías! ¡Nos vemos después del receso!
Over the last few weeks, 6th-grade students in Mrs. Schafer’s Social Studies classes have learned about Ancient China. The Ancient Chinese are credited with inventing tea, so students tried Chinese Oolong tea while learning about the history and the importance of tea ceremonies to their culture. Students also enjoyed a fortune cookie while reflecting on what their fortune meant through a writing prompt.
🎶 Join us for DMS Jazz Nite! Tomorrow at 6 PM at the high school — an evening of fantastic music performed by our talented students. We hope to see you there! 🎺
We wanted to share some exciting progress from our recent collaborative science lab between Coach Mayes's and Mrs. Robinson's classes. Last week, our students completed the "Ramping Up Transfers of Energy" investigation. Students explored the relationship between mass, speed, and energy transfer during this hands-on lab. They collected quantitative data by:
- Weighing various objects to determine mass
- Measuring distances to analyze energy transfer
- Recording and comparing results across multiple trials
The students used the evidence they collected to construct scientific arguments about how mass and speed affect energy transfer. This experiential learning opportunity reinforced key physics concepts while developing their analytical thinking skills. We are thrilled with how effectively the students engaged with the scientific process and utilized data to support their conclusions.
Today is the final day to guarantee your student's yearbook! Please go online to www.jostens.com to place your order before it's too late!

No school on Monday, February 17th, 2025!
This week in Mrs. Robinson's 6th-grade science classes, students engaged in a hands-on lab activity where they observed the motion of a rollback can.
During the lab, students were able to relate their observations to the concepts of energy they learned in Lesson 1. This interactive experience allowed them to construct explanations using key vocabulary related to energy transformations. Additionally, the students designed solutions for their models, collaborating and sharing ideas and using measurements, further enhancing their understanding of the scientific principles at play.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting, fostering both engagement and deeper learning.
Attention parents! If you want to guarantee your student receives a DMS yearbook, be sure to place your order within the next 10 days. Don’t miss out—order now before it's too late!
