The PTSA had a record number of members last year and all worked hard to support any requests for help that came our way from staff, students and administration.  We would like to be able to do that again this year. We welcome anyone who would like to attend a meeting, provide a food dish, head up a committee, chaperone a field trip, donate a prize, or just contribute their initial membership dues to help sustain our association. Please keep posted to our website for notice of our first meeting. The meetings are held during the week, approximately every month at 7:00 p.m. in the school auditorium. We appreciate our parents' support!

Make your Volunteer Hours Count!

In order to keep track of your volunteer hours we are asking each person to complete a volunteer form. The forms can be found in the volunteer binder in the Main Office. When you come to the school to volunteer you must go to the Main Office to sign in and get a badge. At this time you should complete a volunteer form. Place the form in the binder under the divider with the letter of your last name. This form will remain in the binder where you may continue to add your volunteer hours each time you come to school. Please adhere to this procedure as it is the only tracking method in place. We would like to thank Irene Gaston from the Main Office for creating the binder for us and for all the work she does for the PTSA!


DCS PE Uniforms are on sale throughout the year from the PTSA. Download a PE  uniform order form or pick up a form in the school office. Orders are filled twice a week, and may be picked up by your student in the office.

School uniforms can be purchased at:

Continental Uniforms - 700 N.E. 125 Street, North Miami

Don't want to throw out your child's out grown uniforms? Don't!  Donate them to the PTSA's Uniform Exchange Program. We would love to put them to good use!    


Ride the Bus - It may be Free!
If the shortest safe walking distance from school to your home is between 2 and 4 miles, your student will qualify for free bus service.  TRANSPORTATION INTEREST FORMS have been mailed to students. Please complete this form and return it to Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores at 11301 N.W. 5th Ave. Miami Shores, FL 33168.  Contact Ms. Diaz with your questions at 305-762-5177 or click here to send an email.

SCHOOL FUNDRAISER - Cell Phone Recycling and Ink Jet Cartridge Fundraiser
The PTSA is conducting a cell phone and ink cartridge recycling drive and fundraiser.  It couldn't be easier: all you have to do is bring your used digital cell phones and/or used ink jet cartridges to school and drop them in the box in the Main Office of DCS.  We're working with an organization that will recycle them properly, protecting the environment, or refurbish and resell them. This organization will provide the PTSA with a fee for each donation you make!  Learn more about them at www.EcoPhones.com/schools.  If you have questions, contact Kathryn Blakeman.
