Deans Mill School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to a new and exciting year at Deans Mill School! The PTO is thrilled to have you with us as we embark on another wonderful year filled with events, activities, and opportunities to support our incredible students, teachers, and school community.

We’re starting off with some fun in September, including our mums sale from Pequot Plant Farm and school apparel, followed by one of our favorite events, the DMS Fall Festival on September 28th (rain date: September 29th). This festival is such a special time for our community to come together, and we’re excited to make it even more memorable this year with additional family-friendly activities.

The PTO works hard throughout the year to fund and organize events that benefit our entire school. From supporting teachers with classroom projects to covering the cost of field trips, we’re here from the first day of school to the last. We also host many beloved events like Movie Night, Community Ice Skating Day, Family Bowling Day, the Back to School Social, Cultural Enrichment programs, Science & Technology Day, Field Day, and our Book Fairs.

We would love for you to join us in making these events a success! Whether you have a little time or a lot, there are so many ways to get involved. Keep an eye out on ParentSquare for volunteer opportunities throughout the year. We’ll be holding bi-monthly meetings in person, and we’re also exploring options to stream them so everyone can participate, even from home. Whether you’re new to the PTO or a returning member, we’re always eager to welcome new faces and ideas. Remember, as a parent or guardian of a DMS student, you’re automatically part of the PTO—no sign-up or membership fee required!

Please join us for our first PTO meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 10, 2023, at 6:00 PM. We’ll send out more details as the date approaches.

We look forward to a great 2023-2024 school year!
