DAC (District Advisory Council)
The District Advisory Council was created by the school board to foster effective communication between the board and the community. The council is comprised of two parent representatives from each school. This year Michelle Kahan and Maria Grevstad are serving as the Gordon Russell parent representatives.
The district uses the District Advisory Council (DAC) as a way to hear from parents. We'd like to bring your feedback and opinions to the DAC every month. For Gordon Russell parents to be heard at the DAC meetings, please take a moment to respond to a monthly question. This month, the district would like to know:
Question to Parents for the November DAC Meeting:
SCRIP
Scrip is a fundraiser for the school that ends up costing you nothing. Buying scrip is essentially buying gift cards from participating stores, but when you order them through the school, Gordon Russell earns a percentage of the sale. You get to spend every penny used to purchase the gift card. Scrip is an excellent way to budget grocery spending and a fun and
handy gift idea.
To order, simply fill out an order form and return to the office on any of the designated Mondays along with a personal check or money order for the total amount. Gift cards will be ready for you to pick up (or we can send them home with your student) on Fridays. Order forms can be found in the main office. If you would like to be on the Gordon Russell scrip email list so you can get updates and download the order form, please contact Andrea Umenhofer via email at agujazz@comcast.net
