Spike showed off his talents at the beginning of the year, DPMS spirit assembly! Staff and students had a great time getting into the spirit while celebrating the new school year. DPMS continues to build on their culture of Ohana (Family), Laulima (Work Together), and Imua (Push Forward). Students played Minute to Win It games and had some fun and friendly class competition. DPMS is off to a wonderful school year!

Capital Levy 2025
What an amazing first day of school! 🎉 It was wonderful to welcome our students back and see so many smiling faces ready for a new year of learning and growth. The first day always takes a little patience and understanding as students and bus drivers adjust to new routes, classrooms, teachers, and even new schools. Moments like this make it all worthwhile: "Since last year, she has dreamed of riding a bus, and her dream finally came true today." Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic first day of school—we can’t wait to see all the amazing things this year will bring! ✨📚🚌
