Dear DSMS Parents and Guardians:
President Obama is set to address students across the United States at noon time today, September 8, 2009 at noon time. The noon time start (originally had been planned for 1:00), complicates our ability to transmit the program to all students.
We also have half of our students in grade 7 attending a field trip today. As a result, we are not going to be airing the address live during instructional time today. Rather we are encouraging parents to view the President's address with their children at home. CSPAN is airing the broadcast and it is our hope that parents will take the opportunity to see the presentation with their children as a validation of the importance of goal setting and education.
Best,
Frederick
