Team,
Happy first day of school! Today we welcomed almost 6,000 students through the doors of your schools and into your classrooms - and they bring their hopes and dreams with them this morning!
As we begin this first day of our 2018-19 school year my mind is immediately drawn to the final parent speech at this year’s Infusion when DSST: College View Parent Saul Cortes said:
I encourage all of you to see that all of [our] families holds a box. Inside of that box is a puzzle of a dream for each of your students. For each individual it’s unclear how to put it together - but if you work together, pieces begin to fit and you start to see the totality of the picture - which is a dream for each of your students.
We all have an incredible and unique opportunity to work together to make our students dreams come true.
I want to call out a couple of milestones for our DSST network. Today marks the official first day of school for our newest school DSST Middle School @ Noel Campus. Go Bulldogs! DSST: College View High School welcomed their first class of seniors who have already begun writing college essays and we will get to celebrate them in just a few months at this year’s Senior Signing Day.
Check out first day of school photos from across our network on our Facebook page and I hope you had an incredible first day with your students.
