Principals' Message

Dear DLMS Families,

As the hallways quiet down and we officially wrap up another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to our amazing school community. It has been a truly fantastic year filled with growth, achievements, and so many great memories.

Looking ahead, I am so excited to share that our school theme for next year is "Living the Aloha Life." While many people think "Aloha" just means hello or goodbye, it’s really about living with compassion, harmony, and a warm, welcoming spirit.

Before we dive into that mindset together in the fall, we need to practice the best part of the Aloha spirit: taking time to rest and ride the waves of a slower pace! I hope every single one of our students, staff, and families takes this summer break to recharge and relax in whatever way makes you happiest. You’ve all worked so hard and earned this downtime.

To help you smoothly transition back to the island—err, school—routine later this summer, here are a few important details to keep on your radar:

  • Schedules & School Supplies (Early August): Student schedules will be posted to Skyward in early August. Grade-level school supply lists will also be up on the district website at that time.

  • ParentSquare Notification: Keep an eye out for a ParentSquare message in August. We’ll send an update the moment this info goes live, complete with instructions on how to view it.

  • Open Tour Night (August 14th, 6:00 – 8:00 PM): Want to practice your route? We invite any interested students to come walk the building, find their classrooms, and get comfortable with their schedules before school officially starts.

  • Summer Reading: Keep those brains active! Don't forget that there are summer reading assignments for each grade level. You can find all the details and book lists right now on the DLMS webpage.

Thank you again for making this year so special. Have a safe, fun, and absolutely wonderful summer.

Aloha!

Dr. Abate and Dr. LaMantia 

Sincerely,

Dr. Abate and Dr. LaMantia
