Thank you for your patience and understanding during the outage. We appreciate your flexibility while our service provider worked to resolve the issue.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We would like to provide an update regarding the ongoing phone outage affecting our school buildings.
Our phone service provider has informed us that they are currently experiencing service issues that are impacting phone systems throughout our area. Their technical teams are actively working to identify and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
The provider has advised us that they will notify the District as soon as service has been restored. Until that time, our schools will continue to experience phone service disruptions.
If you need to contact a school, please continue to call the Central Office at 307-358-2942, and our staff will relay your message to the appropriate school or department.
We understand the inconvenience this situation may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding while our provider works to restore service.
Thank you,
Converse1Schools

We are incredibly proud to share that Douglas Middle School has been recertified as a School of Distinction!
This process happens every 4 years through the association of middle level education. DMS was certified in 2022 and now again in 2026!
This recognition reflects the intentional work happening every day at DMS; the commitment of our staff, the growth and spirit of our students, the partnership of our families, and a school community that believes deeply that Everyone Belongs, Everyone Becomes.
Being recertified reminds us that what makes DMS special isn't one program, one person, or one moment. It is the way our entire Bearkit community continues to show up for kids, grow together, and create a middle school where students can belong and become.
Two-time School of Distinction. One incredible DMS community.
We are proud to be Bearkits!
