Week 4 Roundup & Week 5 Preview
I am grateful and proud of our entire school community as we complete this week! We shared this school safety slide deck with students on Wednesday morning to debrief the situation regarding a concerning social media post that was investigated by our law enforcement partners, and our counselors have been available throughout the week to support students as a resource to help them process their thoughts and concerns and will continue to do so moving forward.
Week 5 will be a busy four-day week, including lunchtime guest speakers from 4 colleges, tryouts for girls and boys basketball, and a girls home volleyball game on Thursday afternoon! In addition, we will hold our first School Site Council meeting via Zoom in place of our regular Wednesday Parent Office Hours on Wednesday at 4:30pm. (We would appreciate you taking a moment to vote on our School Site Council members using this link!)
Students’ grades will be updated in Powerschool in all of their classes by the end of our Professional Development Day on Friday 9/17, and grade reports will be mailed home in week 6. Also in week 6, students will learn from their teachers how they can earn honors credit in their classes this semester, and we will be presenting a Zoom webinar explaining how mastery-based grading and honors credit works at DVS on Wednesday 9/22 at 5:00pm.
I wish you all a happy and safe weekend!
