Report cards have been mailed out and I have turned Powerschool access back on Have a terrific summer!

On behalf of all the adults here at DVS, thank you once again for trusting us with your children this year. They are a truly wonderful group of young men and women whom we enjoy, admire and respect, and who it was our pleasure leading, serving, and taking care of as best we could.

Our teachers will be completing students’ final grades and report card comments over the next 2 days, and we will mail out the report cards on Monday. Though the teachers and counselors will not be answering emails over the summer break, you are always welcome to email me with any questions you have.

Thank you to all of you who attended the Presentations of Learning that your students have worked so hard to prepare!

As a reminder, we ask parents to please sign in to register your attendance at tinyurl.com/DVSParentParticipation if you haven’t already done so (you can use this link to register your attendance for any of the events you attended this year).

Thank you!

Here is the schedule for the remainder of the school year!

DVS Week 37-38 Schedule

We have decided that, due to the logistics of our move into the new campus and the movement of other programs into our current campus, we will not be offering an ACT prep course this summer. We do plan on offering one next winter.

Hi 9th and 10th grade families,

Today students will begin receiving the score reports for the PSAT 9 and PSAT 10 tests they took in April. Please ask your son or daughter to show you the report when they receive it. I’ve included information about how to understand the score report below. Please click on the links to access the information. If you have any questions, please contact me at edsouza@davincischools.org. Thank you!

PSAT 9 Parent Tutorial

Please note the following time change: Our last School Site Council meeting is tonight at 5:30pm. The only item on the agenda is to approve the LCAP and SPSA plans that we discussed at the last meeting. All are welcome!

Hi DVS Families! Here are some of the policies regarding POLs at DVS:

Missed presentations: There will not be any POL makeups allowed. Students who miss a POL with a valid reason* will be excused from the POL. * Valid reasons include urgent doctor’s appointments with doctor’s note and parent confirmation, hospitalization with appropriate documentation, and deaths in the family with appropriate documentation.

Students arriving late to their POL presentation: The timer for each student’s POL will begin at their scheduled time. If a student arrives late, they will be allowed to give their presentation but will only have the time remaining on the timer to do so.

Students not in professional dress and/or missing a script or evidence: Students who are not dressed professionally or who are demonstrating a lack of preparedness will be permitted to present, but will be awarded a presentation preparedness score that reflects their lack of preparedness.

Here is the schedule for the week!

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Erin and I will be standing in the parking lot each morning before school with this box to collect any notes of appreciation you might like to write to any of your childrens’ teachers. You can also bring notes and cards in and drop them off any time at our office.

Your words of encouragement mean a great deal to these dedicated professionals who love your kids and who work so hard to help them be successful!
