[quote=Anonymous]One flag is that while DCPS teachers (nb - not necessarily charter teachers) are generally well compensated, para-professionals are not. So if your kid's classroom has an aide or para, group fundraising for things like giftcards can be very appreciated for those staff members, who still do a ton of work to support your kids. Similar to others, our Title 1 DCPS does collective fundraising for staff appreciation once a year, for equity reasons (both so that teachers receive equal amounts and so that gifts are from all families). During Staff Appreciation Week, there is a whole-school effort led by the PTA asking families write thank you notes/kid drawings to teachers and staff, inc. maintenance, cafeteria, specials and SPED teachers, etc. It's less organized at the charter school one of my other kids attends. Multiple asks throughout the year, gifts include both gift cards and tchotchkes, not all staff are included, etc.[/quote]
