🌞 As the weather warms up, we want to remind our students and families about the importance of adhering to our school dress code! 🌼
Dressing appropriately helps create a positive and respectful learning environment for everyone. Please take a moment to review the dress code guidelines to ensure that your outfits align with our expectations:
Clothing must cover all areas from one armpit across to the other armpit.
Bottoms must extend down past the fingertips.
Tops must have shoulder straps of at least 2 inches.
Rips or tears in bottoms should be lower than the fingertips.
Undergarments must be worn and should not be visible.
Bedroom slippers are not permitted.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide clothes for students to change into due to our depleted supply. Parents will be contacted to provide a change of clothes if necessary.
Let’s work together to make our school a great place to learn and grow! If you have any questions about the dress code, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your cooperation! 💙

Dear North Dorchester Middle School Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some exciting news regarding our school community. We are pleased to announce the addition of a School Resource Officer (SRO), Deputy First Class LaMonica, who will be joining us this school year.
Deputy First Class LaMonica comes to us with 10 years of experience with the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office, previously serving as the SRO at Maces Lane Middle School. Her commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment for our students is evident, and we are confident that she will be a valuable asset to our school.
The role of the SRO is to enhance the safety and security of our school while also serving as a positive role model and mentor for our students. Deputy First Class LaMonica will be actively involved in our school community, participating in various activities, and building relationships with students, staff and families. We believe that the addition of Deputy First Class LaMonica will also provide our students with an additional trusted adult they can turn to for guidance and support.
Attached you will find a Welcome Infographic that will tell you more about Deputy First Class LaMonica. Please join us in welcoming her to our school community. We encourage you to introduce yourselves and engage with her during school events. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you for your continued support in making NDMS a safe and nurturing place for our students and staff.
Sincerely,
Vaughn D. Evans, Sr.
