Fall Sports are almost here! 🐾
We’re excited to kick off the Fall Sports season at T.W.K. Dirigo Middle School!
Soccer and Field Hockey begin Monday, August 31, with Cross Country starting Tuesday, September 1.
A reminder that all student-athletes need a current physical on file and must be registered by a parent/guardian at schools.snap.app/dirigo by clicking “Register.”
5th graders may register at this time! Once we see registration numbers, we’ll determine if there is enough space to safely include them.
Have a sport-specific question or need to reach a coach?

We are one month away from the start of the 2026-2027 school year! The annual mailing will be sent out in a couple of weeks with lots of information. In the meantime, we thought we would post our recommended supply list and ask parents/guardians to "save the date" for Thursday, September 3rd, 5:30-7:00, for the TWKDMS Open House and mandatory technology safety meeting. The first day of school just for 6th graders will be Wednesday, August 26th (NOT a late arrival day), and the whole school starts up on Thursday, August 27th. Go Cougars!
Tennis Camp for Dirigo 5th-12th grade.
All skill levels welcome.
20 dollars per person for all 4 days.
Learn a sport you can play for the rest of your life.

Here is the link to tonight's DHS Candlelight Ceremony which starts at 7:30PM.
The Class of 2030 is in its final week before high school. We had a blast at Funtown (and got some ice cream on the way back). Tonight was the Semi-Formal. It was great seeing all the students dressed to the nines, but even more fun to see them cheer on Tucker's debut guitar performance, and then take breaks from the dance floor to play a little chess. They are a dynamic, fun, creative bunch - watch out, Dirigo High School, here they come. Go Cougars!
We have a 7th and 8th-grade dance scheduled for June 6th. All students planning to attend must purchase tickets in advance, be academically eligible, and present on Friday, June 5th, unless they have an excused absence.
