We are extremely excited to kick off the new school year with you at our live all-staff Infusion event this Friday, August 6, at 8 am. This year’s event will be live but take place virtually - although many schools are having a “watch party” with their team so be sure to check with your leadership on how your team is planning on watching. Please review all of the following information and don’t hesitate to reach out to Katie Glenn (Kaitlin.Glenn@scienceandtech.org) with any questions. We are looking forward to connecting with you on the 6th!
We are excited to welcome all our new staff members, including some new school leaders! Today we're featuring two new School Directors (neither of whom are new to the DSST family!), Meghan Janci from DSST: Conservatory Green High School and Misha Hudak from DSST: Cole Middle School!
DSST: Cole is hosting a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Thursday, August 5, which will be open to all community members.
The Human Capital team has received some urgent questions about our new benefits and our update time-off system. Please review the information below and do not hesitate to reach out to humanresources@scienceandtech.org with any questions or concerns.
In 1958, the National Defense and Education Act (NDEA) was signed, which opened the way for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to become a main focus of schooling in both K-12 and higher education. The NDEA was in response to the launch of the Russian satellite, Sputnik in 1957. With this launch, the space race began. The United States and Russia were already steeped into the cold war between the two countries. Being the first to reach to the moon became a rallying cry as cemented by John F. Kennedy’s moon speech:
When one hears, reads or thinks of the word PRIDE. What comes to mind? Is it pride in our country, pride in ourselves, pride in our community, or simply an acknowledgment of the joy, resilience and triumphs of one’s culture and lived experiences? PRIDE has multiple meanings for multiple people. However, PRIDE for our family, students, and colleagues who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community, bears another meaning. This meaning is beyond the casual rainbow flag waving in June for PRIDE Month, the solidarity stickers and shirts sold as a corporate marketing campaign during PRIDE parades. PRIDE has its roots, beginnings, and daily journey through the human condition in civil rights, legal rights, constitutional rights, and human rights. The right to simply exist as WE are regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, or social and economic status. PRIDE is about mattering.
A big thank you goes out to every member of our team who has worked over the past few months to help us recruit a diverse team. Watch the video to see if you won the $500 raffle!
DSST Colleagues:
On Wednesday, June 2, the Henry Pride celebrated their last day of school and the beginning of a new chapter with a special carnival! The sun was shining and the games were in full force- check out just a few snapshots from this fun-filled morning!
Last Thursday evening, May 27, the Dragons at Cole Middle School hosted their annual ColeChella end-of-year concert for their entire community! The lively student performances included R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop-Rock, Nortena, and Drumline Ensembles. The event included cameos from musicians from Denver who played along with many of the ensembles. Check out just a few pictures from the awesome event!
