It’s Been a Great Year!

As another successful school year draws to a close, it’s time to thank those who gave their time, energy, and passion to make Del Mar Heights the best it can be for our children. We couldn't have done it without ...

• Our PTA – President, Debbie Negulescu, the members of the PTA Executive Board, and all PTA Committee Chairs. Thank you to the parents who organized and supported: New Student and Kindergarten Orientation, Muffin Morning, First Day Guides, Ice Cream Social, Red Ribbon Week, Spirit Wear (great new logo design, Maile!), Family Photos, Everyone a Reader, Walk to School Day, Reflections, Understanding Differences, Holiday Wonderland in the Village, Newsletter, e-Scrip, Giftwrap Sale, Talent Show, Used Book Sale, Staff Appreciation, Yearbook, Jogathon, and Carnival. Our PTA is at the core of all the programs that make Del Mar Heights special.

• Our School Site Council – Chair, Mary Slattery Johnson and all Site Council members who had the important responsibility to oversee our efforts to continuously improve the education of our children.

• Our Del Mar Schools Education Foundation Representatives – Polly Murphy, Tiffany Kinney, and Mary Slattery Johnson provided leadership and inspired us to raise $180,000 so we will have the maximum amount of enrichment possible. Next year we will be able to offer art, music, technology, physical education, Science Lab, and Spanish to our students. Thank you to everyone who gave monetary support to the DMSEF!

• Our Morning Traffic Safety Volunteers – Dawn Kureshy and her team of dedicated parents patrolled on street corners and in the parking lot greeting each child with a smile.

• Our Supportive Parents – who got their children to school on time and ready to learn. Thank you for spending countless hours practicing math facts and spelling words, encouraging reading every night, proofing writing, and providing assistance with special projects. Your partnership has increased the learning opportunities for your child.

• Our Wonderful Staff – who are committed to provide the highest quality education to our students in a culture of caring. We have an exceptional team – both teachers and support staff. They’re the best!

2009/2010 Student Information

During the final month of this school year, the Del Mar Heights' staff will begin developing preliminary 2009/2010 student placements. The placements and class rosters will be finalized in August. Many factors are considered as we make student placements. Every effort is made to balance classes according to the following criteria:
o   boy-girl ratio
o   a blend of different learning styles
o   class size
o   English language skills
o   enrollment in special education
o   the need to group or separate children

Parent input is yet another factor we are pleased to consider as we develop classes. If you would like to share information which we may not already have, you may download and print a Student Information Form from the Friday folder. This form is optional and must be returned to the school office no later than Friday, May 8, 2009. Read more...
