You're Invited!

Dear DPM Parents,

We are launching a new opportunity for our parent community to build connections with our building administrators and have an opportunity to talk about DPM related issues. Our Associate Principals, Mr. Sam Paulsen and Mrs. Megan Eigenrauch, will be hosting biweekly meetings to discuss teaching and learning across our school. This will hopefully be a way to discuss upcoming events, provide feedback to the school, and talk about educational best practice research in a fun and interactive way. 

These talks will occur from 8:35 am - 9:35 am. No need to sign up, just simply attend on as many dates as you’d like! The dates and more specific programming information is below.

We hope that you are able to take advantage of this enriching opportunity to get to know your building Associate Principals a little more! 

Sincerely,
Tom Herion

This is an unstructured talk where we will discuss the real issues that are impacting our middle school students on a regular basis and a way for parents to keep the school informed of hopes, concerns, and rising trends. You will have an opportunity to hear and share new ideas, as well as brainstorm together with Megan in an informal setting.

Parents are invited to join Sam and other interested community members as we collaboratively think about how best to support the students and teachers at Deer Path Middle School together.
