Dear Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at David Lawrence Jr. K-8 Center!

On behalf of the PTSA Board, I am excited to welcome both our returning and new families. My name is Gisell Chao, and I am honored to be serving my second year as your PTSA President. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside our dedicated families, teachers, staff, and administration to support our students and strengthen our school community.

Over the past year, our PTSA has proudly sponsored programs, events, and initiatives that have enriched the educational experience for our students. As we begin a new school year, we look forward to building on those successes and creating even more opportunities for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.

We invite all families to become active participants in our school community. Whether you volunteer your time, attend events, share your talents, or support our fundraisers, your involvement makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can continue to provide valuable resources and memorable experiences for our students.

One of the best ways to stay informed and connected is by attending our general PTSA meetings. These meetings provide updates on school initiatives, upcoming events, fundraising efforts, and PTSA financials. We typically hold three general meetings each school year. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at David Lawrence Jr. K-8 PTSA for meeting dates, announcements, and volunteer opportunities.

To volunteer at our school, all individuals must register annually through Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Volunteer registration information can be found under the Parents tab on our school website at www.dljk8.net.

If you have not yet joined our PTSA, we encourage you to become a member. Membership rates are:

• $5.00 per student
  • $10.00 per parent/teacher
  • $20.00 for a family (2 adults + 2 students)

You can join by clicking the MemberHub link.

As we begin this new school year, I remain committed to fostering a strong partnership between our families and school. Your ideas, feedback, and participation are invaluable, and I encourage you to get involved in whatever way works best for your family.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. I look forward to another amazing year together as we work toward our shared goal of making David Lawrence Jr. K-8 Center a positive, enriching, and memorable place for every student.

Thank you for your support,

Gisell Chao
2026–2027 PTSA President
