BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT

Back to School Night gives parents and guardians the chance to rotate through an abbreviated version of their child(ren)’s class schedule. Please arrive by 6 p.m. to pickup a schedule and get a brief overview in the auditorium. Most students do not attend, but you may bring them along if necessary. See you there!

Urgent Need for Volunteers

As you may know, adult and students who volunteer with the DSA earn $5/hour credit for the team or club of their choice. During the last school year, 23 JDHS organization earned money with the DSA.

We need your help! We have an URGENT need for volunteers for this Friday’s home football game and for the 9/30 UD football game. All events are listed on SignUp Genius.

We have already forfeited working the first two UD dates due to lack of volunteers. We only have one date covered (thank you, field hockey!). We are in danger of losing our contract, which will make it very unlikely that Dickinson will be allowed to work at UD in the future. The chance to make hundreds of dollars per game will be lost to Dickinson.

No experience is needed for any of our events, just sign up, show up, and we will train you. It’s easy and it’s fun!

Parents, grandparents, students, coaches: please find a date or two where you can help us out: http://bit.ly/1VhQ3tj
