PTA Spotlight Series

We want to create space for you to be even more informed about our favorite school. When families are in the know, our kids win! That’s why we’re switching things up a bit with our remaining PTA meetings and creating a time to help you learn more about the what/why/how behind DTS. At each Spotlight Night, we will highlight a specific part of DTS, feature DTS speakers, and include a time for Q&A with our principal on the topic at hand. Afterward, there will be a time of breakouts led by the PTA and a PTA work session (that’s optional, but we hope you’ll choose to stay and learn more about getting involved with the PTA.

Join Us for the PTA Spotlight Night on Tuesday 11/12
