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!

Dear DVC Families,

We write this message to you on a Sunday evening that is filled with grief, anxiety, and unrest in our local and national communities over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis this past week. This tragic event was videotaped and broadly shared on the news and social media in a time period where the very recent and tragic public deaths of Black men and women like Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor have also occurred. As we all know, we are also in the middle of a pandemic that is ravaging our nation, further complicating this time period.

Our entire DVC community is likely to be affected and experiencing a range of emotions about all that is going on. We made this video informing students and families that we will create space in the virtual world for those who wish to grieve together, and we also encourage students who are struggling with the gravity of this tragedy to reach out to DVC staff if needed. Please view the video and let us know if your family could use our support during this difficult time.

We hope that you are safe this evening and always.

Sincerely,

Erin & Andrew

Senior Committee has created a Kudoboard, which is an online tool used to gather a group and send appreciation. It’s essentially an online greeting card that anyone with the link can access online. We want to use this board to share memories and celebrate the seniors. Kudoboard allows you to attach photos, videos, and gifs, so you can attach any form of memory or celebration you’d like! If you’d like to share a message for the seniors, the link is: https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/QxxRD9Tz

Show the seniors some love!

With thanks,

The Senior Committee
