Parents meeting, Internship document

Below are two links. One is a PowerPoint presentation that served as an agenda for our parents meeting on February 28, 2011. The second link is to a one-page document about the Internship that will be required of all students prior to graduation. We plan for students to complete this during the Intersession time in their Junior or Senior year, or to complete it over the summer.

Pics from Science Olympiad, VRC

Below are some pictures from events February 26. Students from DRSS competed in their first Science Olympiad competition. The event was held at Wright State University, and our students made a good showing for their first ever competition.

In the evening, students enjoyed the Vandalia Recreation Center - spending time on the climbing wall, in the gymnasium, and in the swimming pool.

VRC, parents meeting

DRSS Parents,

Just a reminder that we have the Vandalia Recreation Center reserved Saturday, February 26, from 7-9PM. Students can bring a guest, and it is $7 per person to attend. We have access to the climbing wall, gymnasium, and swimming pool. Students can pay at the door with their permission slips. Students have have permission slips to attend, as well as a climbing wall waiver if they want to climb the wall. If you need copies, the links are below and in an older post on this blog as well.

We also have our next parents meeting on February 28, from 5:30-6:30. This will be at the school AND on Elluminate if you prefer to "attend" virtually. The link is in a previous post.

Portfolio and parents meeting

DRSS Parents,

At our last parents meeting, I mentioned a document that helps explain the portfolio that each student is completing. Below is a link to that document...sorry it took so long.

Also, the next parents meeting is set for February 28 at 5:30PM. We will have the meeting at the school, but I will also run an Elluminate session as well. WARNING: this is my first time trying to run a parents meeting both in-person AND on Elluminate. Many of you liked the Elluminate session, so I'm willing to try this and see how it works.  :)

In addition, following the parents meeting at 6:30 there will be meeting for any parent wanting to know about Post Secondary Enrollment Options. This meeting will NOT be done via Elluminate...only in-person.

Below is the link to the Elluminate session for the 5:30 parents meeting on February 28.

School Update PowerPoint

DRSS Students and Parents,

Below is a link to the powerpoint that I used this week with students (and similar to the one I used on January 31 with parents) to give them an update about some things concerning the school this year and for 2011-12. The slides by themselves don't provide detailed explanations for everything. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Dr. Boyd

Vandalia Recreation Center

DRSS Students and Parents,

We have rented out the Vandalia Recreation Center on Saturday, February 26, from 7:00-9:00PM. For $7, students get access to the gymnasium area, the swimming pool, and the climbing wall. DRSS students may also bring up to one friend in grades 8-10 that does not attend our school.

Please complete the permission slip, as well as the climbing wall waiver (the rec center staff will NOT let you climb without your parent's signature here), and turn this and your $7 in to the office. Links to both of the permission slips are below, and hard copies will be available at the office.

Dr. Boyd
