Principal's Corner
Hello Dragon Families,
We hope your summer was full of adventure and that you found fun ways to stretch your children’s experiences together. Last week, many summer camps wrapped things up and perhaps some parents were calling in childcare favors this week. Well, wait no more! School begins on Thursday, August 8, 2024. We’re excited to begin anew with you!
Over the summer, our support staff has been very busy working on improving our facilities. The field was smoothed out with tractors and then reseeded. New grass has taken root and is ready for our students. Newly painted courts, curbs, and lines welcome our students on the playground and in the parking lot! The kindergarten fountain/water bottle filler is back in service!
We are continuing with 21 general education classrooms with amazing teachers guiding and caring for your children each and every day! We have nearly 50 support staff, including me, ready to serve you and our students as well. It’s a good year to be a Dragon! :)
With appreciation,
Thien Hua - Principal
What does PTC do?
PTC stands for "Parent-Teacher Club." We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization and our job is to facilitate fundraisers and events throughout the school year to enrich the education of our students and the experience and connection of our families. Here is a helpful chart that shows how our fundraising money is typically distributed:
Our Board consists of four volunteer members (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) plus a Communications Director. In addition to these positions, all of our activities are run by volunteers like you!
If you are new to DeLaveaga this year, take a look at our Fundraisers Page to get an idea of what we do throughout the year to raise money for the school. In addition to these fundraisers we put on movie nights, school picnics, holiday gift-giving events, and much more throughout the year to connect our community.
Volunteering with PTC for a fundraiser or event is a great way to meet new people and make new connections. Read through our Get Involved page to learn more, and reach out to one of our board members, or email info@delaveagaptc.org if you'd like to get involved!
