Welcome back Wildcats!
Dear Parents,
We will be hosting our Annual Curriculum Night as well as our annual Title 1 night on Tuesday, August 20 at 5:30pm. We will begin with parents going to students' homerooms for a Title I presentation. This will be followed by a brief video with comments from the principal, Ms. Fusi, and PTA leaders. PTA will outline their plans for the year as well as directions for approving the PTA budget. I would like to encourage you to join our PTA and to commit to serving at least one hour at our school. Teachers will then provide an overview of basic information parents need to know, such as promotion criteria, curriculum, communication resources, etc. At 6:30, parents will have the opportunity to visit all of their child's teachers, including Connections. We are following an open format in which you will start with your homeroom teacher for basic information and then travel to your child's other classes to pick up information and ask questions. Teachers have prepared handouts and brochures to address specific items about their curriculum. If you have a lot of questions that are specific to your child, please sign up for a conference at a later time, as we will be asking parents to transition to classes between 6:30 and 7:30 and there will not be time for conferencing.
We want to recognize our volunteers in a special way this year, and PTA officers will be sharing how they are partnering with us to increase family and community involvement at our school. I hope you will all invest in DMS with your time, energy and resources. One area in which we have a need is parents serving on School Council. The details for volunteering are on our website, or you may send in your name to Tara_Labarbera@gwinnett.k12.ga.us. Parents will be able to vote on nominations at Curriculum night.The deadline has been extended to Monday August 19 So make sure you have this event on your calendar. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
