Good evening DRMS families, This is a reminder that tomorrow, Monday, June 9, 2025, is our 8th grade promotion at 9:00. The gate will open for ticketed entry at 8:30. General admission with no ticket required is at 8:45. Seating is first come first served. We look forward to our celebration as this is a very special event. We encourage our students to dress nicely on this day. Their “Sunday best” is encouraged; however formal (prom-type) attire is not appropriate. We also ask that families not bring balloons to the celebration as it interferes with the view of others. For our 6th and 7th grade students we will be on a special bell schedule for the day, with dismissal at 1:05. Please plan pick up accordingly. Our last day of school is Tuesday, June 10, 2025 with dismissal at 1:05. We wish you all a wonderful ending to this great school year and we hope you have a restful and fun summer break.

Good morning Dallas Ranch Middle School Community, I wanted to update you on the events of this morning, May 28, 2025. At approximately 10:25, we got a report of an individual in the middle of the street, yelling, cursing, and making potential threats while holding a sign. Our administrators, armed security, and staff immediately called the Antioch Police Department, and worked to diffuse the situation. In an abundance of caution, we locked the school down for approximately 15 minutes. When students were released, the individual had been cleared by APD and removed from the area. We thank our AUSD Security (SR Global) and the Antioch police for their support and quick response. The situation was handled, and no students were impacted. We appreciate the patience of all families while we handled the situation and worked to help keep our students safe. It is always our policy to first secure the safety of our students and then notify our community of the results. As a parent, I understand your concerns; please know our student’s safety is of the upmost importance to all AUSD Staff. Bridget R. Spires Principal, Dallas Ranch Middle School
