October PTO Meeting Date Change + LSAT Election

A special mid-week note with important updates for October

October PTO Meeting Date Change
Our October PTO meeting has shifted from Wednesday, October 1 to Wednesday, October 8 (6:00–7:00pm) in recognition of the Yom Kippur holiday. There will be both in-person and virtual options.

We know the timing—right before teacher workdays and a long weekend—may mean some of you are away, but we really hope you’ll join if you can. This month, we’ll dedicate more time for families to connect around goals and shared interests.

LSAT Parent/Guardian Representative Special Election

We’re holding a special election for one vacant parent/guardian representative seat. The nomination period for candidates is now open.

The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of parents/guardians, teachers, staff, and community members who work with Dr. B to guide decisions that shape our school. Every DCPS school has an LSAT to ensure families and staff have a voice in setting priorities and supporting student success.

This year, LSAT meetings are held virtually on the third Tuesday of every month from 5:30–6:30pm.

• Nominations are open now through October 15.

• Voting will run virtually from October 16–20.

• The newly elected representative will be invited to join the next (virtual) LSAT meeting on Tuesday, October 21 at 5:30pm.

If you’d like to nominate yourself or someone else, please complete the 2025 LSAT Special Election Nomination & Interest Form by Wednesday, October 15.

Thank you for being part of the Miner community—we hope to see you on October 8.
