Kingsley Weekly News
Yogli Mogli Spirit Night
Tuesday, May 21
One last hurrah: Our favorite neighborhood frozen yogurt retailer closes out the school year's spirit nights.
Destination Imagination
Thanks for an amazing spirit night at O'Brian's which benefitted Kingsley's Destination Imagination team, the "D.I. Donuts." It is heading to the Global Finals this week joining teams from 42 states and 14 countries. Watch the opening ceremonies live on Wednesday at 7:30 pm here: http://globalfinals.org/info/
Are you a communicator?
The Charter Council is seeking passionate volunteers to work in the following areas of communication next school year:
- Website
- Email newsletters
- Facebook Page
Email council@kingsleycharter.org to learn more about how you can get involved.
Whether you volunteered 16 hours or 160 hours, each and every hour is important to log in K12Ambit. The documentation of volunteer hours helps build a case for renewal of the charter and increases grant opportunities. Log your hours now at http://k12ambit.com/.
Remember, according to the charter contract signed at the start of the year, every family is supposed to serve 16 hours through volunteering or donating needed items to the school or for events, and many of you have met the Charter Challenge by doubling that commitment and serving 32 or more hours. Make sure we know it by logging your hours using these guidelines:
- 1 hour for attending an event regardless of how long the event lasted (1 hour per family, not per parent).
- For cooked items for class activities or school events, 1 hour for homemade items and 0.5 hours for purchased items
- Actual amount of time worked for any events or activities you've assisted with.
School Supply Orders for 2013-14
Due to some last minute revisions, the pre-packaged school supply prices have changed. The new prices are as follows:- Pre-K $35

Town Hall Meeting by Parents for Quality Education in Dunwoody
Sunday, April 28, 5 - 6 pm
Dunwoody United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall
- Get the latest info on accreditation, legislation for a city school system, and charter cluster school system option
- Sign up for working committees – let’s build a framework for quality education in Dunwoody
- Share your ideas for quality education solutions
Since February, community volunteers, public education advocates, Dunwoody City Council, state representatives, and Dunwoody School Councils have discussed ways to improve the quality of education in Dunwoody. Volunteers have gathered information about dual accreditation, charter clusters, initiatives by other high school clusters in DeKalb County, and the legislative process for creating a new school system, and other options.
During meetings with each School Council in Dunwoody, volunteers shared information about Charter Clusters, presented a Letter of Intent to petition DeKalb County to approve a Dunwoody Charter Cluster, and listened to School Council concerns.
This idea has moved very quickly. A May 1 deadline for the Letter of Intent and Fall deadline for the charter petition have driven a sense of urgency. Nonetheless, the charter cluster option is too important and complex to press forward without a community forum.
During a Town Hall meeting, let’s discuss the Charter Cluster option, the pros and cons of a Charter Cluster structure for Dunwoody schools, and the Letter of Intent.
1. Should Dunwoody school councils press forward with the Fall 2013 deadline?
2. Or should our community slow down, wait a year, to work more deliberately toward a Fall 2014 petition presentation?
3. How might the charter petition process provide structure to a possible City of Dunwoody school system?
We will also share updates of the dual accreditation option for Dunwoody High School, the feasibility study for a City of Dunwoody School System, and other information.
We are inviting representatives of each School Council to join the volunteer steering committee as we begin to build critical bridges among our elementary, middle, and high schools.
Sign-up forms will be available for volunteers to form working committees that will begin to define what a Dunwoody school cluster or system should be.
If you can’t attend the Town Hall meeting, let us know where you’d like to volunteer and any concerns or questions you may have to info@dunwoodyparents.org.
