It takes a village to educate our kids! The funds raised for PTC impact our whole school community, but we can't do it without the help of parents. There are so many ways to help, big and small, that make an impact. Take a look down below on this newsletter to see what specific roles we are looking for help in.

Principal's Corner
Hello Dragon Families,
In February and March, we completed our Priority Registration for the 2025-26 school year. Although families are always able to enroll in school year-round, this registration allows us to plan for next year’s staffing levels as well as determine eligibility for Dos Alas, our Spanish Two-Way Immersion program. So far, our numbers look good for next year as we have exceeded our projected enrollment. We expect to continue with 21 classrooms and look forward to what next year will bring!
If you have not completed your plans for summer, consider signing up for CKC Summer Camp. Recently, your teachers sent parent letters home to families who qualify for free childcare during Spring Break and Summer. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch, are English Learners, foster children, and/or are homeless may access these services as needed.
The California Assessment for Student Performance and Progress, also known as the state assessments, begin in April and continue up until May for students in Grades 3, 4 and 5. Please refrain from taking any trips or long weekends during this time. It’s important that students are rested and have an accurate testing experience.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and your Parent Teacher Club. We hope you enjoyed Dia del Nino as well as our annual Walkathon!
With appreciation,
Thien Hua - Principal

Get Involved with PTC
Join us in making a difference at DeLaveaga Elementary. Connect with fellow parents, support your child's education, and help build a strong school community by volunteering with the PTC. Here are our current needs:
CARNIVAL - Auction
We are in GREAT NEED of a few volunteers to help run the Spring Online Auction this year! Do you have a hard time getting into the school to volunteer because of your work schedule? This volunteer role can mostly be done from home on your own hours. We'd love three people to work together as a team & divide up roles that best suit your strengths & availability. Want to make it social - recruit a few of your friends to do it with you! Do you work downtown and have time to drop a few flyers at businesses - then this could be an easy commitment for you!
General guidelines for this role:
January - February: Emailing and dropping off letters to local businesses for Auction donations.
March - May: Follow up calls & emails to businesses
April - May: Creating Online Auction site (uploading images & entering donation info)
Ongoing tracking in a spreadsheet
Picking up donations at businesses when necessary
Managing the Auction site the week of the Auction (May)
Management of the auction/raffle booth day of carnival (May 9)
Responsibility in distributing items to auction/raffle winners
This is one of the largest fundraisers of the year that leads up to our Spring Carnival and we need YOUR HELP to make it happen! Contact Melody at Carnival@delaveagaptc.org for any questions/interest.
CARNIVAL - Volunteer Lead
The PTC is looking for someone to shadow the Carnival Lead this year. Your role this year will be to learn the role and step in where you feel comfortable and take over the Carnival Lead Role next year. If you have any event coordinating experience or if you’re extremely organized, this is a great fit for you! You will help lead the committee & monthly meeting, coordinate with the teachers, write communications, organize the games & booths and manage all aspects of the Carnival the day of the event. This is a big role - but also a very important role, to ensure the Carnival continues at DeLaveaga! If you are interested, you could also share the role with a friend and divide and conquer. Contact Carnival@delaveagaptc.org
PTC Communications Lead
This role is pivotal for our PTC-to-Parent communication. The Communications Lead collects the information regarding that month's events and compiles it into a monthly newsletter. The job itself totals approximately a half day's work each month, and can be flexible based on the schedule of whoever is running the role. This spot is fun as it gives you touch points with a lot of different people involved at the school. If you are interested in the role, please contact Lindsay, communications@delaveagaptc.org
Thank you!! We couldn’t do this without the support of MANY parents!
