I’m excited to keep working for and with your families! Please Join the PTSA Today - volunteering is not required.
​
Hello New & Returning Diegueño Families! 
​​
I'm excited about this upcoming school year and hope to meet those of you I don’t know yet at our social events. 
 
Our Executive Board and I had a lot of fun last year working to connect our community, upgrade our campus, and raise funds to fully support every single student and staff member. 
 
I can’t wait to see what this year brings! 
 
Our focus is still all about Joy, Purpose, Community, and CONNECTION for the kids. 
​
This year, we have the same big fundraising goal as we are committed to funding:
 

• Increased MINI-GRANTS FOR TEACHERS, which will DIRECTLY IMPACT your child's academic experience THIS YEAR. 

• Every teacher also receives a CLASSROOM SUPPLIES allotment. 

• We will continue to provide additional equipment & materials for PE & Electives courses.

 
PTSA Membership Levels Include These Perks:
​

• Spirit Wear Discount

• Ad / Message in our Cougar Connection Newsletter

• VIP Seating & Parking at 8th Grade Promotion 

• Campus Plaque

• The Pride of Supporting Your School

​
I hope you will join the PTSA and help us reach our Academic & Community Goals. Joining requires ZERO TIME COMMITMENT, and there is a tax-deductible donation level for every budget.
 
Now that you have a Middle Schooler at SDUHSD, there are NO EEF (Encinitas Educational Foundation) DONATIONS, so you can re-route those funds to us (please!), along with your CORPORATE MATCH, if your employer participates. Ask me if you have questions about this. We can work directly with your employer to facilitate if needed.
