Our Chance to Present

Les Lindauer will present our proposal for a new building to the Citizens’ Committee on June 3. The Citizen’s Committee is the committee that will make recommendations to the school board about projects to include on the bond initiative. Further information will be provided to the staff as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, questions or concerns, please contact your respective dean or send an email in the ask Emily section of this update.

Tell Your Story

The DPS communications office recently unveiled a new web site. If you have a great student story or event, you can submit it to the DPS web site. http://communications.dpsk12.org/requestService/310/

Please also copy the PR office so that we can help. In addition, if you feel it should be a news story, let the PR office know.

Schedules

The printed schedule for summer classes is at the registration desk as of Tuesday, May 27. The 2008-09 Fall Schedule will be delivered on Tuesday and distributed throughout the building. However, registration for fall is not open currently. Fall classes are still being input into the banner system. The anticipated date that students can register for fall semester is June 9.

Exit Package for Students

As part of our efforts to provide our students with the best possible education and service, this year each graduating student will receive a portfolio with the Emily Griffith Opportunity School logo when they get their exit package. In addition, we are giving graduates a $50 scholarship to give to a friend. We hope this effort will encourage students to spread the word about Opportunity School.
