Engaging Every Student Every Day


Wednesday, October 29, 2025



  • Today is an X day and outside Recess


  • This week is spirit week! Each day will be marked with a special day and way to celebrate.

    • TodayWork Life Balance: couch potatoes VS careers – show off a career you’d like to have someday or dress in your favorite couch potato fit to promote healthy goal-setting that includes time to relax drug-free. Drugs keep us from getting the jobs we want! Teachers: dress as the first job you ever had to show off your humble beginnings! 

    • Tomorrow: Iconic Individuals- Dress like a positive celebrity icon or role model, a successful individual in a career field you respect, or someone you look up to! Choosing a drug free lifestyle like our positive icons can help us make our mark on positive historical changes! 

    • Friday: teacher student swap day – students dress like teachers and teachers dress like students to promote the importance of teacher-student teamwork in our Dawes community – bonus points for including Dawes Spirit Merch or Dawes Pride Purple and Green! 


  • For spirit week blankets are not allowed


  • Are you missing a Jacket, Hoodie or water bottle?  Stop by the lost and found to see if it’s there.  This Friday will be the last day to come pick up any lost items.  All items left behind Friday will be donated.


  • This Friday is Halloween.  As a reminder, there are no costumes of any kind allowed during the school day.  Please make sure to wear appropriate attire

  • Now is the time to put away your phone in a locked locker or chromebook bag. They do not belong in your pockets or your hands. We should not need to remind you 6-7 times!


  •  Please check for any important messages from family members after school on your grade’s announcement boards.  6th grade will be posted at the 6th grade doors while 7th & 8th grade will be posted at the main doors.

 

  • Everyday counts Diamondbacks!  Being in school everyday and following the Dawes CARE expectations is the best way to graduate on time. We show courage to do hard things, Accept feedback from others, demonstrate Respect even when we don’t want to, and positively Engage in learning in all your classes.   At Dawes we are kind or quiet; that choice belongs only to you.  Let’s have a great day Diamondbacks!
