Principal's Corner
Hello Dragon Families,
We are excited to begin the school year with you! For those of you who heard me speak at Back To School Night, I shared with you our 483 reasons for doing what we do at DeLaveaga. I’m pleased to let you know we are now at 484 miracles, mysteries, and children who look to us for guidance as they learn, grow, and change. Let’s make sure we give that 484th student and all our new students an extra warm welcome to our community. Our staff and I are honored to begin this year’s journey with you!
It’s a good year to be a Dragon, and it’s an even better year to be one with the support of your Parent Teacher Club. Please consider joining the DeLaveaga PTC Pledge Drive with whatever amount you can give. Your direct donations will help fund teacher reimbursements for supplemental classroom supplies, LifeLab lessons, increased access to the library, school assemblies, and the Spring Carnival to name just a few! While all taxpayers, with kids and without, fund a basic education, our PTC and you make sure we can make it so much more.
Please also consider volunteering as we certainly appreciate the gift of time!
With appreciation,
Thien Hua - Principal

-If your student has any health concerns that we should be aware of, please reach out to me.
