Hello Families,
I am delighted to share that we have had another wonderful week at Dennis-Yarmouth High School! Our community spirit was palpable as we conducted five very successful class meetings, held during Dolphin Home. Students were warmly welcomed at the auditorium doors with some D-Y swag, adding a touch of excitement to the meetings.

In collaboration with our broadcasting class, we were proud to post these meetings on DYMedia1, ensuring that everyone connected to our school community has access. Additionally, we have attached the class meeting presentation for your convenience. We hope that the information shared can foster a cohesive partnership between home and school.

We are excited for our Fall Spirit week beginning next week. Themes are:
MONDAY: Inside Out
TUESDAY: Dress to Impress
WEDNESDAY: Fairytale
THURSDAY: Rhyme without Reason
FRIDAY: Class Colors

We greatly value your feedback as it plays a crucial role in enhancing our future events. Your insights from our recent Open House Night will help us better meet the needs of our school community. We invite you to share your thoughts through our brief Open House Feedback Survey, ensuring we continue to create positive and engaging experiences for all families.


Thank you for your ongoing support in making Dennis-Yarmouth High School a place where students thrive.
