Summer Reading
Summer Dos - Water Slide! Cha-Cha Slide! Playground Slide! Slip N Slide! 
Summer Don’ts - Learning “Summer Slide”! 
What is the “summer slide”?
Learning loss that students can experience when out of school; students can lose over 20% of their school-year gains in reading!
How do you prevent the “summer slide”?
READ! READ! READ! Students who read at least six books during the summer either maintained or improved their reading skills! (Source: What is Summer Slide and How Can We Help Prevent It).
DMS Summer Reading 2025 will help to fight the summer slide!
DMS Media Center will also be open for book checkouts June 17th and July 22nd 11am -2pm.
Come in for books and we will give you cool treats!
