Library / Media Center
Our library is a hub for student learning, reading, and discovery. In addition to the school library, teachers may maintain individual collections of age-appropriate books in their classrooms to support literacy and foster a love of reading.
Support Organization
The South Doyle Middle School Parent Teacher Support Organization (PTSO) works to support the school community including staff, students and families. We partner with staff to identify needs and then work to fulfill those needs. We invite all SDMS families to join the PTSO to stay up to date on opportunities to support the school community.
