Hi DVC Families,

If you are currently the parent of a 9th or 10th grade student and you are interested in learning more about the pathways at DVC, you are welcome to attend today’s webinar. It will begin at 12pm, and here is the link: DVC Pathways Info Webinar

If you cannot attend, please do not worry. I will post the link to the recording of the webinar so that you can watch at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Erin

Hi Families of the Class of 2020,

We are looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2020 with a special awards ceremony. At this time, we have decided to reschedule this awards ceremony to Wednesday, June 10th. Time, details, and link coming soon!

Sincerely,

Erin

Dear DVC Students and Families,

Please see this video message from us regarding our plan for providing spaces for students to discuss during these difficult times: Video Message from Erin & Andrew (June 3, 2020)

If you would prefer to read a written transcript of the video message, please click here: Written Message to Students and Families (June 3, 2020)

A synopsis of the action steps explained in the video and written message is as follows:

• We will be offering affinity groups for students on Thursday. Students can sign up for those at this link: Affinity Group Sign Up

• We request student participation in grade-level council discussions on Friday.

• We will be exempting students from all POLs on Friday, with the option to reschedule without penalty and only if desired by the student.

And most importantly: To our entire DVC community, the combination of a global pandemic and a national emergency is unprecedented. Though our response to all of this has not been perfect, we want you to know that we care tremendously about the health and well-being of our students, staff, and families. We strive to always do better, and we want you to know that nothing – no project, no POL, no assignment, no deadline – is more important than your life. 

With love,

Erin & Andrew

Hi DVC Families,

Today marks the beginning of our Presentations of Learning (POLs), our end-of-semester presentations for students. We wish our students the best of luck as they finish up this school year. We know that they have worked hard in difficult times, and we are proud of them. Our leadership students have created messages of encouragement for their peers during this POL season. Today, I highlight this message from Ajana Williams (11th grade):

Please see this image for a snapshot of the events for the next two weeks:

For All DVC Students:

1. Today (Monday, June 1st) is the last day to turn in any missing or revised school work for your classes. After today, the only work that will be accepted by your teachers is the work that is related to your Presentation of Learning.
2. On Wednesday, June 10th (the last day of school), we will have a Virtual End-of-Year Send-Off. You can expect more details regarding this coming out soon.

For our DVC Class of 2020:

1. There will be a Virtual Senior Awards Ceremony on Thursday, June 4th at 6pm. All seniors and their families are encouraged to attend. Details and links to be released soon.
2. On Thursday, June 11th, we have our virtual graduation scheduled for 6pm. We are also working on a cap and gown photo opportunity on that same day. Details to be released soon.
3. Diploma pick-up day is still scheduled for Friday, June 12th. Please be attentive to the requirements you will need to meet in order to receive your diploma on that date.

And finally, we want to celebrate all of our students who have earned All-Star and Awesome Awards over the past two weeks. We are so proud of all of you who have earned recognition for the inspiring ways you contribute to the DVC community! Congratulations!
