Principal's Back to School Welcome

Dimmitt Middle School Middle Years Programme

 

July 2, 2026

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Dimmitt Middle School!

It is my privilege to welcome our scholars, families, staff, and community to another exciting year at Dimmitt. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are grateful to have you as part of our Viking family.

As we begin the year, we are proud to celebrate being recognized as one of OSPI's Distinguished Schools. This honor reflects the hard work of our scholars, the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the strong partnerships that make Dimmitt such a special place. While we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on what matters most—ensuring every scholar continues to learn, grow, and thrive.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme school, we believe learning is most powerful when scholars connect their classroom experiences to the world around them. Our belief that our community is our curriculum reflects the heart of the IB philosophy. Through inquiry, authentic learning experiences, service, and collaboration with local partners, our scholars develop the knowledge, skills, and character to become compassionate, reflective, and globally minded leaders who make a positive difference in their communities.

At Dimmitt, we are committed to cultivating a culture of advocacy, belonging, and community. We believe every scholar deserves to feel a deep sense of connection, to have adults and peers who champion their success, and to discover their own voice as advocates for themselves and others. Together with our families and community partners, we intentionally develop the IB Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills—communication, collaboration, self-management, research, and critical thinking—so our scholars become confident learners, effective problem-solvers, and engaged members of their communities.

Before the first day of school, I invite all scholars and families to join us for Viking Business Day on Thursday, August 20, from 1:30–4:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to pick up class schedules, tour the school, meet teachers, pay ASB fees, and take care of important back-to-school tasks so scholars are ready for a successful start to the year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Dimmitt and kicking off another amazing year together.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for being an essential part of our school community. I look forward to an outstanding year of learning, growth, and celebration as we continue to inspire, challenge, and empower every scholar.

⚽ Interested in Sports?  Don't Miss This! 

If your scholar is interested in joining one of our athletic teams this year, please note:

They must have a current, updated sports physical on file in order to participate.

We understand that getting an appointment for a physical can be difficult during the busy back-to-school season, which is why we’re excited to offer a free and convenient opportunity for Dimmitt families.

⚕️ Free Sports Physicals & Immunization Clinic — Thursday, August 13

Attend our FREE SPORTS PHYSICAL CLINIC, by appointment only on Thursday, August 13, 2026. The physicals will be performed by our partners at Providence Swedish. An immunization clinic hosted by HealthPoint will also be available for students at any grade level to ensure all students are up to date on their immunizations.

  • Register now at this website to be eligible for a sports physical.
  • An email will be sent in July to all registered families to pick your timeslot for the free event.

We look forward to seeing all Vikings on Wednesday, August 26th for the first day of school! 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions prior to the first day.

Looking forward,

Tracey Tymczyszyn
Principal
Dimmitt Middle School
