DMS SMART Goals



During the 2012-2013 school year, by the end of April
100% of the curricular areas will infuse informational
reading into to their courses as monitored through
course curriculum maps.
During the 2012-2013 school year we will increase the
average from 91.5% to 95% of students feeling safe in
less supervised areas as measured by a survey to be
administered in late April of 2013.
During the 2012-2013 school year, DMS will have 50%
of the students completing an individual volunteer project
outside of the school day in addition to the school
adopted service projects.
