Dysart school boundaries to be reviewed


Dysart reviews boundaries

The Dysart Unified School District is forming a committee to review boundaries for the 2008-09 school year.

Parents and community members are invited to participate in the process by attending the first meeting Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the governing boardroom at the Dysart Education Center, 15802 N. Parkview Place, just west of Surprise Stadium.

As a result of Dysart’s continued rapid growth, two new elementary schools are scheduled to open next school year, which will result in boundary changes. Elementary No. 19 will serve students living in the northernmost parts of the district. Elementary No. 20 will be built for students from El Mirage.

 
The boundary committee will be tasked with researching boundary issues and making recommendations to the governing board. Two more meetings are scheduled Nov. 15 and Nov. 29. All meetings are open to the public. Call 623-876-7018 for more information.

Box Tops to aid school

Parkview Elementary School has launched its 2007-08 Box Tops for Education fundraising campaign. This year the school has set a goal of earning $5,000 through Box Tops to purchase incentives for school and its store.

Box Tops for Education is a school fundraising program started by General Mills in 1996. To date, Box Tops has helped America’s schools raise over $200 million to buy the things they need but cannot always afford such as library books, school supplies and playground equipment.

Collect Box Tops from hundreds of familiar, participating products and send them to Parkview Elementary School, “Attention Rebecca Lopez - Box Tops Coordinator” at 16066 N. Parkview Place, Surprise, AZ 85374.

Residents may also sign up on the Box Tops Web site at www.boxtops4education.com, and designate Parkview Elementary as the school they wish to support.

Learner Initiative is topic

Community members are invited to attend a public forum to discuss Dysart Unified School District’s New Century Learner Initiative.

The forum is scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Dysart Education Center, 15802 N. Parkview Place, Surprise. The forum is an opportunity for residents to learn more about the initiative, provide input and discuss other topics of community interest.
