ATTN:  DSAO Parents/Guardians

The DSA Collaborative School Committee (CSC) has two (2) openings for parent representatives starting in August, 2012: one (1) for a high school parent, and one (1) for a middle school parent.  The CSC brings together administration, faculty, parents, students, and community members to create and implement plans for promoting high achievement within the school.  Being a part of the DSA CSC is a meaningful opportunity to be involved in the school community and to support the education, development and well-being of our students.

If you (or someone you know) is interested in running for one of the DSA parent representative positions, nominations are being accepted NOW through Wednesday, April 25, 2012, at 3:00pm.  More information regarding the election process (including Nomination Forms) can be found either on the DSA CSC web site (http://dsapresents.org/csc) or in DSA’s Main Office.  Voting will take place from Monday, April 30, to Friday, May 4, 2012.

We appreciate your interest and encourage your participation,

The 2011-2012 DSA CSC Parent Representatives

 

Mike Johnson (HS Rep)
