Welcome, incoming Sophomore Parents/Guardians of Class of 2011!
To promote communication and camaraderie among parents of your class, the Class of 2011 Listserver is available for sign up. Class listservers have been used successfully for a number of years to promote parent-to-parent communication on class-specific issues, activities and concerns as well as to facilitate Q&As between parents and counselors. DHS Counselors will start answering questions after the 9th Grade Parent Information Night on Feb 13 and 14. Melissa McDaniel, dhs2011@gmail.com, an experienced high school parent who also has an incoming sophomore will be your class' Listserver Administrator. Melissa will help organize parents' questions, eliminate repetitions, and email the counselors' answers via the listserver.

Help save PTA $10,000 - get your newsletter electronically
New families are encouraged to sign up for the PTA Listserver to receive the monthly newsletters and important time-sensitive announcements of relevance to parents and guardians of ALL grade levels. This is different from the unmoderated PTA's Class Listservers for parents of the same grade level. It's also different from the Daily Bulletin Listserver. Join all.

School Profile 2007-08 is online
The School Profile is a pamphlet with interesting statistical information about DHS and its students. It is compiled by the DHS Counseling Office and is sent along with the student transcript for college applications. To view, select "DHS Info" from the menu, then "School Profile".

Join the DHS community! Volunteering is a great way to get involved at DHS
Whether you can commit a lot or a little time, your contribution will help make a difference and will be greatly appreciated. See PTA's volunteer resources.

PTA "media volunteers" help disseminate information
When you send an announcement to the address at DHSPTAmedia@mailman.dcn.org (note the word "media" after DHSPTA in the address), volunteers responsible for the newsletter, listserver, website and web calendar will simultaneously receive your message and will help you disseminate it to the DHS community through the appropriate channel(s). This is a permanent address to help streamline school-wide and district-wide communications. Submitting before the newsletter deadline will ensure your message will reach all DHS families, whether they have Internet access or not. See submission guidelines. Note: Announcements for the Daily Bulletin need to be sent directly to the DHS secretary. Please DON'T send submissions for non-school events even if they are geared towards students because they won't be included in the Daily Bulletin.

Avoid missing important e-mail
If you plan to use or are using an e-mail filter, SPAM filter, or a "whitelist" (a.k.a. buddy list, safe list...), you can avoid missing out on important announcements, including the newsletters, by using the information troubleshooting.

Parking for parent volunteers
Please check in at the front desk in Administration whenever you visit campus. Please do not park in spaces marked "staff only". If time is of the essence, or you need to carry heavy items and need to be closer, the DHS administration office can issue a temporary parking permit. The district will no longer forgive tickets of people who made this mistake.
