Art Corps is a comprehensive, developmental curriculum which teaches the fundamentals by process-orientated, hands-on art experience to the classroom.  The success of this program depends upon parent volunteers who are trained in workshops to teach art in the classroom.  This program runs throughout the school year with the commutation of a grand Art Show at the end of the school year in which each child will exhibit one piece of art.

To List

All communications from the school to parents are sent home with the students (the youngest child attending Dingeman per family) once a week on Tuesdays.  The volunteers meet on Tuesday mornings in the staff lounge immediately after school begins, 9:05 AM to collate, staple, and group the handouts for all classes.  The committee would like volunteers to commit to helping at least two Tuesdays a month, but any help is welcome.  With enough volunteers working together,  the process should be complete in an hour but the time will vary based on the amount of information being sent home.   

This committee writes thank you certificates to our many generous community supporters.  The committee meets after any event in which community support was provided and makes sure that local businesses are recognized for their generosity to our school.

One of the exciting aspects of this school is its technology.  The technology committee is comprised of interested parents and teachers.  One of the primary responsibilities of this group is to work with the other schools in the Scripps/Mira Mesa K-12 cluster to coordinate technology plans.  Each school provides a Technology Use Plan to determine grade level specific objectives for its students.

Meeting Schedule (Meetings held in the teachers lounge @ 7:30AM) Contact Principal Brad Callahan for more information.

Web savvy people (or even if you are not)  who are interested in helping to maintain and grow our web site are encouraged to participate.  We need people to help the teachers get their classes online as well as maintain them once they are there.  We need to make it the place to look for information about our school and our children's classrooms.  This is a work at your own schedule position.  Please contact Danielle Davis, email - Danielle.Davis@sas.com, Web Master.
