Last day of School:

Congratulations Class of 2024!

Happy last week of school! And just like that, we are at the last few days of the 2023-2024 school year! It is so true that time flies when you’re having fun. This is especially true in our case, as DVS students have been working hard, learning tons, and building and creating new learning experiences together all year. We are so proud of all of our students.  

We had a successful POL week this past week. Students did a fantastic job summarizing their learning, articulating their thinking, teaching a new skill, expressing their reflections and growth, and presenting their final research presentations. In addition, during extended learning room sessions, students learned more about the college application from UCLA ambassadors, discussed their leadership style and contributions to DVS school culture, participated in resume building and mock interview panels, received joy and mental health wellness from therapy dogs, and more! Thank you, students, staff, and community partners, for providing real-world learning experiences.

We are gearing up to send off and graduate the DVS Class of 2024! We had a wonderful time at Disneyland Grad Night 2024.

Week 38 Schedule: This is the last week of school! Please note the early dismissal time of 2:25 this week. The last day of school is Wednesday, June 5th.
