Welcome to Our New Website
Welcome to the NEW Dartmouth Public Schools WebSite.  Each of our schools has a similar web site and in the weeks and months to come you will see an ever increasing usage of this new site by our staff, our students, as well as our parents.

You can visit each web site by clicking on the quick link in the top left hand corner of any of the sites.

Teachers will be receiving training on how to use the website for their classrooms.

Students will be given a username and a password so they can access their teacher's web sites for information like homework due dates, the date of quizzes and tests, along with other pieces of information that their teachers have provided on their site.

Parents will also be given instruction on how they can log onto this site to view information about their child's classes.
Stay tuned for information about all this and more in the near future.
