PARENT NOTES

·         Attention Parents: If you are interested in requesting a meeting with the your student's Learning Director, please fill out the appointment request form by following the link below:

o    https://goo.gl/jxgTxn

·         Attention Parents: To purchase Miner Swag please visit the EDHS Fan store on the EDHS Website.
http://vusd.org/ElDiamante

·         Attention Parents: We are asking our El Diamante families and alumni for monetary donations to support our PTSA Pledge Drive. The Pledge Drive helps fund our Holiday Care Package Program, Senior Scholarship Program, Student Wellness Programs as well as Teacher Appreciation week. With funds raised last year we were able to provide holiday meals to many of our El Diamante families with limited resources.  Of course we would like to be able to match that amount again this year. Our PTSA has distributed holiday meals since 2004 to families and we have been able to offer 4-5 scholarships to our graduating seniors. El Diamante High School PTSA is completely reliant on charitable donations in order to be able to continue to provide these programs. That is why we ask you to remember PTSA with a charitable gift in support of our school community. Any amount you can share will be greatly appreciated.  We run a non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible. Donations can be made online at: https://jointotem.com/ca/visalia/el-diamante-high-school-ptsa/join. They can also be sent to the office. Please see attachment for more details.
