Important 401K Update
DSST continually reviews the funds offered to staff through our 401k retirement program to ensure that we are offering a range of high quality investment options. We will be closing our JHancock Disciplined Value Fund and replacing it with T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund. If you do not want your money transferred to the new fund, log on to your MassMutual account to transfer to another investment option.

Pets of the Week: 10 Reptile Rock Stars
While we’ve seen some very notable and accomplished cats and dogs grace the pages of the Helix blog, let’s just say it- there’s been an embarrassing lack of animal diversity. That’s why we were especially excited when Natalie Thorsland, Support Specialist with Affective Needs Center students at DSST: Henry, reached out with not just her 2 dogs, but 10 pet reptiles.

Applications are Open for the Ariel Berryman Scholarship
Four years ago, Jim and Teresa Berryman launched the Ariel Berryman Memorial Scholarship Fund after the loss of their daughter, Ariel. Ariel’s passion for helping others reach their full potential inspired the creation of this scholarship. Each year, the Ariel Berryman Memorial Scholarship Fund provides a female senior graduating from DSST Public Schools with a scholarship to attend the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). This fund is matched dollar-for-dollar by CU Denver.

Pet of the Week: Manolo- AST Owl & Australian Shepherd
You may already know that School Choice Round 1 kicked off last week on January 15, and will run through February 18 (February 28 in Aurora). During these 4 weeks, the Home Office and schools are focused on student recruitment as a priority and kicking it into overdrive to make sure that all of our schools are fully enrolled, which secures the essential funding that we need to keep our doors open. This ranges from door knocking, phone calls, attending expos, open houses, and much more.
