San Juan Unified School District is in the process of proposing a reconfiguration plan that would make convert many elementary schools either K-5 or K-8, resulting in more 6th grade students attending area middle schools. The proposal indicates that DPM is slated to become K-5 beginning the fall of 2011-2012. In addition, the district is realigning the boundaries for middle schools; Churchill would become DPM's middle school choice. Although 6th grade is a long ways away for many families, it is important to know that decisions made this fall by the district will affect families’ options in the future.
If you would like to let the district hear your opinion on the proposals, there are several steps you can take:
1) Attend a Community Forum on the proposal on Sept. 29 at 7 pm at Churchill Middle School.
2) Voice your opinion (or ask questions) regarding reconfiguration in a short, easy to use feedback form at http://www.sanjuan.edu/gradeconfiguration.
3) Write letters to the San Juan board members and staff.
4) Attend District board meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 630pm in the District office: Sept 14 and 28, October 12 and 26.
Your voice can make a difference in directing this decision. Let the district know what you want for your children's education.
