Many thanks to all the parents, teachers, and others who survived our delayed open- ing, got their students to school, navigated the adjustment to devices, and made it to Back to School Night - the start of a new year can be lots of work! At Back to School Night, we welcomed the news from Friends of Dulaney that AC units should be in- stalled in our non-air-conditioned classrooms in time for the return of hot weather in the spring. We are very interested to hear your feedback about the BCPS devices students are now effectively required to carry. Do they seem like a helpful addition to the educa- tional experience? Have they caused problems for you? What does your student think? We're forming a Devices in Schools Committee. If you'd like to serve on that committee or have feedback to share, please email your thoughts to me with "DHS Devices" in the subject line. We're very glad to have new friends involved in our expanding range of PTSA pro- grams and activities, and there's always room for more! Come to our meetings when you can; our next one is Oct. 24th. All monthly DHS PTSA meetings are at 7pm on Wednesdays in the school library. Even if you can't get to the meetings, we have lots of great volunteer opportunities, and starting this month, each newsletter will include an updated list. See page 10! Another way to support the PTSA's work is to use the Dulaney-based services of Elite Driving School and The Answer Class SAT prep service, both of which share their pro- ceeds with us. Here's a link to the next SAT prep classes, which will be at Dulaney in the evenings of October 22 and 24: Dulaney High School SAT401 - The Answer Class Finally, special thanks to those of you who have joined the PTSA and supported its work through your generous donations to Lions Share, our annual fundraising ap- peal. Our goal this year is to reach a total of $17,000 in Lions Share donations, and we're not there yet, so if you haven't joined and donated yet, please do. Here's the link: Donation Page 2018-2019 v3 We wish you all a cool, crisp, beautiful October. Sue Battle-McDonald PTSA President A Note from the Editor Hello DHS Family, I only have a couple announcements to make. First I want to thank all the parents who have already donated and joined our PTSA. Your support helps us provide funds to many activities within the school that otherwise would not happen. If you haven’t donated or joined, please do so. Any amount is welcomed. Please join us clicking here. Secondly, I want to share that this past week I have been training to become a Youth Mental Health First Aid trainer. This course helps everyone that has interac- tions with young people to recognize signs and symptoms of mental illness. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to me. I will be advertising a class in our area soon. Last but not least, please spread the word about this Newsletter. Some people may not be receiving it and if that is the case they need to correct their email with the school office. It is our duty to keep communication open and accessible. As always, we are here to help. Reach out with any questions and concerns you may have. Autumn Cheers!

Students receive two service points for donating blood! Parents may also donate and their child will receive credit for their donation. Choral and Orchestra Concert. Thursday Oct. 25th at 7pm in the auditorium. In honor of Rob Hiaasen, who was one of the victims of the Capi- tal Gazette shooting and the husband of our beloved English teacher Mrs. Hiaasen, we will be offering a concert which cele- brates poetry. While most concerts are free, for this concert we will be taking a voluntary $3 admission at the door and all funds collected will go directly to a scholarship managed by the English Dept. to be awarded to a journalism student. School Counseling Join us for “Paying for College Night” on Thursday, October 4th, at 7PM in the Satellite Cafeteria to learn all about Financial Aid. To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study, and loans, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form after October 1st and before March 1, 2019. Completing and submitting the FAFSA form is free and easier than ever. Many states and colleges use your FAFSA information to de- termine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid. Counselors did Naviance/College Application lessons in all 12th grade English classrooms in September. Seniors are prepared to use Naviance to manage their applications and deadlines. On their home page is a step by step guide of the application process. REMINDER: Students must send their own SAT and ACT scores to colleges through the testing web sites. All grade 9, 10 and 11 students will take a PSAT on Wednesday, October 10th. All they have to do to is show up with pencils and a calculator. Upon receiving scores reports in December, encourage your students to link their PSAT/ NMSQT results to Khan Academy to access their SAT practice plans. Your stu- dent’s score report will have instructions on how to link to Khan Academy. Counselors will be visiting 9th grade classes to introduce ourselves, and to get them thinking about careers and colleges via the 6 year planning process. Up Next: October 17th, 7:00-8:00 PM, in the Dulaney Auditorium: Dr. Karen L. Swartz, a renowned psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins, will be presenting to parents on Adolescent Depression Awareness. Parents and Teachers are en- couraged to attend. SGO NEWS Homecoming was a success! A great time was had by all. Thank you so much to all of the volunteers! Your help was really appreciated!
