May ROAR

Greeting to Diplomat Middle’s Wildcat Families,

Spring is here! As I write this letter, the last  weeks of school remain, preparations for Festival are underway, 8th grade students are looking forward to the farewell dance,  and we are preparing to finish one of the best years ever at Diplomat Middle.  Exams and other important dates are listed to the left and on the schedule planner located on the back of this page.  Students must be in attendance during the school day in order to attend after school events. Students who are to be recognized at an awards assembly  will receive an invitation to attend.

We thank parents, staff and students for their hard work and support during FCAT Testing. We  anxiously await the  FCAT scores.  We will begin collecting information from students and parents in late May to begin building next year’s schedules.  Counselors will be meeting with classes  for schedule planning during this time.

We will miss our 8th grade students as they journey on to high school.  We wish them luck as they go on to a new experience.  We hope their time as part of the “Wildcat Pride” here at DMS was enjoyable.  We know they are prepared to tackle new challenges.

It is my  pleasure  to  work  with  the wonderful   staff,  parents,  and  students  of  Diplomat Middle School.  Thank you all for an outstanding year.

Sincerely,

Angela Roles

Principal
