Heffernan 3rd grade parents of Driver Middle School programs as their children make the transition from K. C. Heffernan Elementary School to DMS in September of 2011. Michael Dardaris, DMS Principal, welcomed parents to the program that included:

Grade 4-6 counselor Lorraine Reynolds shared the variety of supports and programs available to all 4th grade students and also gave an overview of the 3rd grade to 4th grade transition process. Megan Nolan, 4th grade teacher, peaked audience interest as she related the results of a student survey she had administered with 4th grade students. The survey provided some student insight into the 4th grade learning experience, “The best thing about 4th grade is making new friends, band, science lab, and having the freedom to make choices.”
