Elections Letter: RASA Collaborative Schools Committee (CSC) 

Posted September 9, 2024

Dear RASA Families & Community,

Every school within the Denver Public School District has a Collaborative School Committee (CSC) in place. The CSC brings together staff, parents, students, and community members to create and implement a plan to promote high achievement within the school. 

Being a part of the CSC is an exciting opportunity to be involved in our school community, not to mention to participate in the education of all our students. Our school is working towards some great goals and we believe that by working together, we can achieve them! 

Since we are a brand new school, this year we have at least 6 (six) openings on our CSC. We meet after school every month (on the last Tuesday of the month) and will have a few extra meetings during the month of February through April. We ask that CSC members participate in the meetings and commit to being a member for two years, or at least one year when that makes most sense. 

If you are interested in your name being placed on the ballot for one of the (parent, teacher, community member, or local business partner representative) openings, please fill out the nomination form below and return it to the main office by end of day on Tuesday September 24, 2024. We would also like to invite you to participate at the CSC Orientation session that will also be held on the same date September 24, 2024 from 4:30-5:30pm, where you can learn more about the CSC and bring in your nomination ballot. 

If you would like more information concerning the CSC before making a decision, please feel free to contact our Principal Dr. Yuzo Nieto at 720-424-2310 or by email at mario_nieto@dpsk12.net. You may also visit the FACE website at https://face.dpsk12.org/o/communityengagement/page/collaborative-school-committees and finally, you may contact the Family & Community Engagement team at schoolgoverance@dpsk12.net. Any of us will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Thank you for your consideration to participate in this great work!

Dr. Yuzo Nieto

Principal, RASA
