A Message from the Superintendent

Dear DA families and friends– November is a month of transitions, with warm days changing to cool, fall sports ending and winter sports beginning. Congratulations to all our fall sports teams, and a special tip of the hat to our varsity football team, varsity volleyball team and boys and girls cross country teams for successfully extending their seasons with league championships and sectional and state play. We’re proud of our Bulldogs! We are also proud to offer our students the opportunity to participate in various sports programs throughout the year. Nearly 60% of middle and high school students participated in school sports this fall, and many families and community members came out to watch and cheer. Thank you to the coaches, volunteers and community supporters for helping make these opportunities possible for our students! As you know, there are several voter-approved capital projects that are making their way through the state approval process. The district is also undertaking a set of energy conservation improvements that will dramatically increase efficiency and reduce yearly energy expenses. We are working with an experienced contracting partner to implement these changes, which will pay for themselves through the state aid and energy savings they generate, with no additional impact on the local tax levy. In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more information with you on how we can increase the state aid we receive and shorten the cost recovery time by seeking additional community approval, again, with no impact on the local tax levy. The community approval process will be facilitated through a taxpayer vote scheduled for 12/17/2024 from Noon – 8:00 PM in the Middle School Gymnasium Lobby. There will be more information regarding the project and process to follow. I’d like to close this November letter by acknowledging the contributions of the many veterans in our community. For many years, our school family has prepared and presented a special breakfast for veterans and public program celebrating them. This event is one of many occasions we get to open our school to the community, and we’re honored to welcome our veterans, their families and community member so we can celebrate them together. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Best wishes for an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Carey Shultz
