This spring, Mady's Narcan Project (MNP) is participating in the 2nd Annual Feeney's Fun Run and Virtual Run on April 13, 2025. Let's help save lives with Mady, a Dunwoody High student who dreams of making Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, readily accessible in every school classroom.

This will be a cultural and service learning tour. When students engage in service learning abroad, they gain a deeper understanding of global communities, develop empathy through hands-on experiences, and build valuable problem-solving skills. Contributing to meaningful projects in another country allows them to see the world from a new perspective, discover their strengths, and grow into more confident, compassionate global citizens. We would love for your student to be part of this transformative journey! 

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

Have you heard someone mention the Student Assignment Project, also known as SAP, and wondered what it was?

For months, Student Assignment Project committees have played a crucial role in reviewing student assignments to DCSD schools, a process that goes beyond adjusting attendance boundaries. Composed of teachers, parents, community partners, and local leaders, these committees serve North, Central, Southwest, and Southeast DeKalb.

These committees meet monthly to offer impartial, data-driven recommendations to the Board of Education and District leaders. Their vital contributions include:

• Proposing equitable boundaries, facility uses, and program enhancements.
• Identifying ways to eliminate inequities and improve academic opportunities for all students.
• Providing insights on enhancing family and community engagement in schools.

At its core, this collaborative effort focuses on program evaluations, community feedback, and potential reorganizations to better serve students and families.

DCSD remains committed to making informed, thoughtful decisions based on data and community input. To learn more, visit our Student Assignment Project Resource Hub at dekalbschoolsga.org/sap/ where you can access meeting videos, presentations, recaps, district data, and our new Student Assignment At-A-Glance videos
