We have 10 candidates for the 5 positions.  Each has written a statement of interest and qualifications.
 
All parents/guardians of Day students are asked to vote for our representatives on the SAC: 
  1. Please read the candidates' statements at www.daypto.org/SAC-candidates.html.
  2. Then Click Here to Vote for up to FIVE (5) candidates. One ballot per Day parent or guardian, please.
Balloting will close at 1pm on Sunday, March 14.  We'll contact all candidates by Monday, then announce the results to the Day community via email, and get the names to Gil Lawrence at the HR department.

Please remember that this weekend we "spring ahead" and change our clocks forward one hour!
