Dear Families,
Our PTSA Board would like to welcome you to David Lawrence Jr. K - 8 Center & PLC South Campus. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Martha Pertuz your 2023 - 2024 PTSA President. We are looking forward to working with you and your children as we continue to sponsor programs and events.
We need parents to volunteer their time and resources to help support our teachers and staff. For this reason, I strongly encourage you to find ways to be active and engaged in your child's school. This year we'd like to personally invite you to one of our general meetings. At the meetings we discuss recent issues, provide new information and updates on upcoming events and fundraisers, and bring everyone up-to-date on current programs and financials. We hold about 4 general meetings every year. Please follow us on our Facebook and Instagram Pages "David Lawrence Jr. K8 PTSA", for meeting dates and times.
- Register to become a volunteer. All volunteers must be registered annually through Dade County Schools. Information on registration is also under the Parents Tab of the DLJK8 website.
- If you have not already done so, please join our PTSA. Membership is only $5.00 for students, $10.00 per parent/teacher, family membership for 2 adults and 2 students for $20.00. You can click on the memberhub link below.
In closing, our common goal is to make our school and our students educational experience the best they can be. We'd love to hear from you! Your input, ideas, and feedback are important to our work. We would be delighted to help you in any way we can this year and want you to know we support you and your children. Again, welcome back and we look forward to seeing, you soon!
Sincerely,
Martha Pertuz
