DVS Week 3: Seminars & Student Photos
We are excited to begin seminars next week! Earlier this week in advisory, students went through the DVS Seminar Listing and Seminar Request Form and should have completed submitting their seminar requests by the end of the day today. On Monday, they will receive an updated class schedule showing the seminars in which they are enrolled. Also next week, students will take their school photos on Tuesday or Wednesday during their English class.
We look forward to settling into our normal routine with week 3 and are proud of our students and staff for doing a terrific job starting off the school year in a safe and strong way!
Week 1 Roundup & Week 2 Preview
We had a terrific first week of the school year, with students re-connecting in their Advisory classes throughout the week and settling into all of their classes each day! Next week our schedule looks more like a normal week, with all classes meeting on Monday and block-period classes on Tuesday-Friday.
Next week students will have the opportunity to request their seminars for 1st semester, and then seminar classes will begin in week 3.
Finally, “Office Hours with Steve & Grace” will begin next Wednesday from 4:30pm-5:30pm at this Zoom link:
