DECEMBER 23, 2009 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! The district will be closed from Thursday, December 24, 2009, through Friday, January 1, 2010, for the winter break. School will reopen Monday, January 4, 2010. Do you have an old, torn, frayed, or faded American Flag? In cooperation with American Legion Post #662, the Dallas Middle School will serve as a collection location for damaged flags in need of proper disposal. Any community member can drop off unserviceable American Flags in the designated container at the main entrance of the middle school during school hours.
