Annual Military Inspection

Good morning Seahawk Nation,

Big week for the Seahawks, as we make our final preparations for our Annual Military Inspection, which will be held this Thursday and Friday.  The NJROTC department has been working hard alongside the cadets to ensure all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed for a successful audit and inspection.  As a reminder, cadets & staff will be dismissed on Friday at 11:20am.

Here are some other “Need to Knows” as we close out February and welcome in March and hopefully warmer weather (not a fan of the cold!).

  • There were NO COVID cases last week! Total cases for the year remain at one hundred seventy-six (176).
  • Big game for boys’ basketball tonight as they take on Tower Hill tonight in a must-win game to make the postseason. The game is a white-out and we hope to see the Seahawk Nation out in full force and cheering POSITIVELY FOR DMA!
  • We are incredibly proud of our cadets who have earned the distinction of Honor Roll for the first and/or second marking periods! If you wish to have an honor roll certificate printed to commemorate your cadet’s achievement, please complete the following request: https://forms.gle/Pron7UDQBhQJz7Bg7  Interested individuals will receive an email at the given address when your certificate is complete and ready for pick up.  Please contact Mrs. Tocyloski at tocyloski@dma.k12.de.us  if you have any questions.
