Downingtown High School West Campus

Home and School Association

August 2009

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Welcome to 2009-2010 academic year at Downingtown High School West Campus. The Home and School Association offers parents an opportunity to connect at West. Our meetings are designed to give you information about what’s happening at school and within the Downingtown Area School District. We meet the second Thursday of every other month starting September 10, 2009 at 7 PM in the DHS West library. Please come and hear from Mr. John Nodecker, Principal, about our school.

The Home and School Association raises funds from donations and sales of our student directory. Please take the time to fill out the Volunteer/ Directory form on the back of this letter. You must return the Directory form if you do not want to be included in the student directory. Email addresses are not included in the directory but are used to communicate with volunteers. We do need volunteers for the various events listed on the form. The Home and School Association enthusiastically supports the Post Prom Party. It is a great night for all seniors, with fun, prizes, entertainment and food. There will be more information throughout the year on this event and many volunteers are needed to make the event a success!

There are many exciting activities and events for your students to participate in during the year. Check the website frequently to see upcoming events: http://www.dasd-dwhs.org/.

Here are a few dates to keep in mind:

Home and School Meeting: September 10, 2009
Back to School Night- October 1, 2009
Directory Forms due October 1, 2009

We look forward to seeing you soon. Please feel free to contact us with questions or concerns.
