  • Friday, August 25th: 6th Grade Orientation from 10 a.m. – 12 noon 

 

Alice Deal Community Association 

The Alice Deal Community Association (ADCA) is the PTA equivalent at Deal Middle School. It is a parent-led community with the goal of connecting parents and supporting our teachers, faculty, administration, and, most importantly, our students.

 Did you know? The ADCA supports Deal to make programming possible as an IB school. The ADCA completely funds: 

  • Programming for our students such as RISE, SMAC (Summer Math Acceleration Camp), SMILE & Elevate

  • Teacher and staff appreciation events:  dinner on the back-to-school night; meals during parent-teacher conference days; meals and other gifts for teacher appreciation week

  • Plus so many other educational opportunities, social-learning initiatives, theater, sports, and clubs.

 

Being in the Know…what to expect.
A lot happens at Deal! We have signed you up for the Alice Deal Community Association (ADCA) Newsletter. Every week this comes packed with information that is relevant and keeps our Deal community connected.

 Our newsletter comes out on

  • Sunday: Principals Weekly Bulletin (with Team Newsletters linked)

  • Tuesday Round-Up: ADCA Community Events and Announcements

  • Weekly: Special Event Announcements

Here are some easy ways to support Deal:

  1. Volunteer for a leadership role in our ADCA 

  2. Attend the next ADCA Meet and Greet

  3. Volunteer at any of our community events. Watch the Tuesday Roundup for signups.

It does take a village to raise our children. Your support in this transition counts!
