Drive-Through Collection Parades

On Tuesday, May 26 & Wednesday, May 27, DHMS will host Drive-Through Collection Parades.  Parade times are separated by grade level and alphabet to keep the line moving.

Our car line will be set up for a parade with collection stops along the way; we will only be able to serve families in their cars.  We will not be able to accommodate any walk-up visitors.  All cars will enter the main driveway off of Patricia Avenue and check in at the tent and give our staff your student’s information. 

 Separate collection stops will be designated for:

• Handing out Awards
• Textbook and Library Book Collection (inlcuding books from teacher classroom libraries)
• Athletic and Cheerleading uniforms
• Orchestra Instruments
• Hall and Gym Lockers

 To speed the process up, before arriving it would be helpful if students do the following things:

• Before arriving, have your student bag up textbooks, library books and label the bag with their student name, student number, and grade level
• Have your student also write down their hall locker number.  Students were consistently told not to share lockers with friends.  If your student shared a locker, they may have to meet up with their friend to get their items back. 
• Have a paper with student name, grade level, student number, and locker number displayed in windshield
• Best practice – label all returnable items with student name, grade level, and student number

 The 8th grade parade will also include a free photo op with a professional photographer and an 8th grade gift from the 8th grade teachers. 

At this time, students who checked out laptops and devices will hold onto their devices until further notice.   Band Instruments and uniforms will have a separate collection on May 28th, From 9:00AM – 3:00PM.  Contact Mr. Urban for more details.
