Dear DVS Families, We are looking forward to the start of the 2020-2021 school year, and we hope this message finds you and your loved ones well. In compliance with the state and LA County Department of Public Health, DVS will begin the year in a distance learning model where students are not expected to attend any on-campus classes. Throughout the summer, our staff has been working to refine our remote learning program so that it meets the needs of all learners and focuses on the social, emotional, and academic growth of students.

For incoming 9th grade students, we are requesting that you take this survey to help us prepare your schedule:https://forms.gle/j6YfaipEqio863FW9

Hello DVS Families! Tomorrow, Wednesday at 12:00, we will hold our last “Summer Office Hours with Steve & Grace” for the summer. We will continue to have Parent Office Hours throughout the school year, at a different day and time to be determined. Tomorrow, we will be reviewing what our daily schedule may look like so families can have a better understanding of what to expect as we begin the year remotely. This information will also be provided through a parent information session webinar on August 5th at 5:00pm. Zoom link to both sessions here.
Thank you!
