November is National Career Development Month!
It’s a time to explore different jobs, learn about your interests, and start thinking about your future!
At DMS, we’re celebrating all month long:
- Career of the Day: Tune in each morning for a new career spotlight on the announcements and learn fun facts about different jobs and the skills they use.
- Weekly Career Cluster Highlights: Each week, students will get an email featuring a new career cluster — groups of related jobs that share similar skills and interests.
- Career Cluster Bulletin Board: Stop by outside the Counseling Office to discover even more career ideas!
This is a great time for students to dream big, explore possibilities, and imagine their future paths. 💫
Stay tuned, stay curious, and get ready to explore your future!

Presenters will meet with two small groups of students (about 15–25 per group) and have 20 minutes to talk about what they do, how they chose their career, the skills or education involved, and what a typical day looks like.

Ms. Avedian and Mrs. Markopoulos are excited to share a Character Education presentation with our middle school students over the next couple of weeks! The focus is on Internet Safety and Social Media Awareness — helping students become safe, respectful, and responsible digital citizens.
💬 Topics Include:
🔹 Social Media: Exploring the positives (creativity, connection, education) and challenges (cyberbullying, fake news, privacy). Students will discuss healthy boundaries, thinking before posting, and seeking help when needed.
🔹 Internet Safety: Learning about scams, password security, online gaming, screen time, and digital footprints — with interactive scenarios to build awareness and smart online habits.
The presentation is interactive and discussion-based, designed to empower students with the skills they need to navigate the digital world safely and thoughtfully.
Ms. Avedian and Mrs. Markopoulos will be visiting related arts classes over the next two weeks to deliver this engaging and important learning experience.
