WPRI posted this wonderful story about Matthew Harding, a Dartmouth native and former member of our bands, who performed at President George H.W. Bush’s funeral this week. 

Well done, Matthew!

Dartmouth High graduate performs at Bush’s funeral

Can you already believe it’s time for our school Spring concerts? That winter felt like it would never end!

We’ve posted a link to the Dartmouth Schools Music Calendar from our website here. The new school website maintains a calendar of all upcoming concerts, along with their time and location. Please visit it to see the times and places for your student’s concerts. We have also updated the front page of our website to show upcoming concerts as well.

Dartmouth Schools Music Calendar

The fire lane at Dartmouth High School must be kept clear of ALL TRAFFIC. Please see the below information on where groups should enter and park.

-DSMA Volunteers: Please park in the DYSA lot (use the first entrance at the high school when coming up Russells Mills Road).

-Busses: Busses may use the student drop-off lane at arrival, then may park in the far lot next to the tennis courts and baseball field (behind the track).

-Box Trucks: All box trucks may use the first entrance to the high school (DYSA field entrance) and unload at the school’s loading dock. Trucks should then proceed to the far lot to park (same lot as busses). 

-Semi Trucks: Semi trucks may use the student drop-off lane to unload. Please full as far forward in the lane as possible, and park against the curb on the right (within the dotted lines).

The yard sale will be held on Saturday August 19 from 8AM – 2PM at the Dartmouth Middle School parking lot.

You can come to browse all the great items available, you can reserve a parking space (or two) to sell your own items, or if you like you can even donate items directly to the DSMA to sell and help raise money.
