Vice Principal Update - Input On Position Criteria Requested 

Vice Principal Michelle Perkins has made the decision to resign from her position as Vice Principal effective June 17, 2022. Please see below for an excerpt from a letter distributed to staff.

I have made the decision to prioritize my family over career while my child is still young. While I am looking forward to spending more time with my family, I will miss working with each of you. I have enjoyed my time at Dana and am especially grateful to have met each of you. 

We have begun the process of hiring a new Vice Principal. All stakeholders (staff, parents/guardians and community members) are invited to provide input. NOTE: Our district recently changed the Vice Principal job title to Associate Principal.

Please complete our google form by Monday, June 6, 2022. Stakeholder input will be used in generating a site criteria list. The tentative date for board approval of the position is Tuesday, June 28, 2022. Thank you.
