Dunstan Middle School

Jeffco Public Schools

We want Dunstan to be a place where students feel engaged, inspired, and empowered to be who they are. We encourage all families to get involved in Dunstan's PTA & SAC so we all thrive as a community. Learn about other effortless ways to support the DMS PTA.

Myth:  
My student has made it through elementary school and now it's time for them to manage the tasks and content being covered in multiple classes with multiple teachers. They need to learn how to juggle it all so they're prepared for high school and life.  I'm going to take a step back and support my student and the school from afar.

Truth:  
For the majority of students, the juggling skills needed for success in school and in life are learned, not inherent.  Middle school students and the school itself still need the support and involvement of families.  Now is a time for families to help their student(s) learn to advocate for themselves, learn to juggle multiple contents with multiple teachers, and help their student(s) stay on track.  It's just as important for families to be actively involved while their student(s) is/are in middle school.
