| PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE August 2011 I’m not sure where they all came from, but when we opened the doors this August, in came 248 6th graders! This year’s 6th grade group is the largest that anyone can remember in a very long time, and it’s a testament to what we are doing as a school community. Without a doubt, you, the citizens of Northern Caddo Parish, have renewed faith in the quality of education that your children will receive at Donnie Bickham Middle School (DBMS). You also believe that your children will have a positive and enriching middle school experience at DBMS. Our goal now, as a faculty and staff, is to make sure that we do not let you down. The DBMS administration pledges to put your children first by: • hiring quality professionals to teach and supervise students. • providing research-based professional development to our faculty/staff. • effectively monitoring the learning environment to ensure that effective strategies are being implemented. • providing extracurricular and enrichment activities/classes that educate the whole child. • recognizing and acknowledging the worth of every student. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel at anytime that we are not working to fulfill the promises that I have made above. It is very important to us at DBMS that we are doing what’s best for our students. Finally, I’d like to introduce our new faculty/staff members: Gladys Carroll: Ms. Carroll comes to us from Hosston Alternative School. She will serve as our front office secretary. Leona Stroy: Ms. Story also comes to us from Hosston Alternative School, and she will work in our special education department as a paraprofessional. Kristen Johnson: Ms. Johnson comes to us from DeSoto parish and will be teaching 7th and 8th grade special education. Nadia NBouter: Ms. NBouter comes to us all the way from Belgium as a part of the CODOFIL program. She will be teaching French to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Toby Quarles: Mr. Quarles has taught Little Kids Rock and band at Herndon for the past several years. He will be in the same position at DBMS. We are EXTREMELY excited about our new personnel. Please take the time to welcome them to the DBMS family. |
