How you can help



As a parent of a DVS student, there are a number of ways that you can help! Let us count the ways...

Join the PTA!


It's only $5! By becoming a DVS PTA member, you will help support school projects. A strong PTA membership portrays our dedication to our goal of providing cultural and educational excellence at DVS. A portion of your dues also supports the New Hampshire and national PTAs, which provide a collective voice for all children and parents, promoting excellence in education in our schools.

Attend the Meetings!


Attending meetings provides you with an opportunity to:
  • Share your ideas with our Principal, teachers, and parents.
  • Influence decisions made about our school
  • Become more aware of school issues and activities
  • Socialize, network, and form friendships with other great parents and staff
  • Meetings are the second Wednesday of every month(no meeting in December or June) at 6:30 p.m. in the DVS Library. Free babysitting services are available every meeting in the DVS Art Room across from the Library.

Volunteer


There are always opportunities to volunteer. Please download the 2010/2011 PTA Program Volunteer Opportunities Form. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Peterson, PTA Program Volunteer Coordinator.
