One of the initiatives for the Dinwiddie Middle School this year is Student and Family Engagement. To accomplish this school-wide goal, teachers banded together by grade level and content areas to provide student and parent support in all subject areas. The sixth grade mathematics department partnered with local businesses to develop Math Madness! Students will have the opportunity to participate in games and activities to reinforce mathematical concepts with their family and friends. The English department is hosting a Virtual paint night, a student helpline for English support, and parent night for Writing SOL preparation and more. Additional activities include a Virtual Gallery Walk for parents to showcase student projects in history and STEM kits were shared with science students to do hands-on learning at home. Teachers have developed many innovative ways to encourage families to learn and engage in the curriculum together.
