Week 23
Hello DVC community, hope that you are enjoying your Presidents’ Day Weekend. Last Week’s Spirit Week was so much fun! Students and staff got in the fun during the whole week, ending the week by wearing red, pink, or white on February 13th. We hope that everyone had a great CLD day. As a reminder, please be sure to fill out the attendance quiz. We will also review this in Advisory this week.
On Saturday, DVC students attended the Black College Expo with teacher chaperone, Mr. Maxwell! We are continuing our celebration of Black History Month with our CD on February 19th and a Black History Month Spirit Week.
Black History Month CD: DVC will celebrate Black History Month at our February 19th CD. We are excited to see the creativity and talent of our students on display, as we celebrate, remember, and honor the achievements of Black Americans. A special thanks goes to our Black Student Union, and their advisors, Mr. Albans and Mr. Clarke!

Parent Snack Signups for Semester 2 Staff Meetings: One of the reasons why DVC is able to be such a wonderful learning environment is that we prioritize staff meeting and collaborative time. If you’d be interested in providing a snack for staff members on Wednesday meetings as a pick-me-up this semester, please check out this link. We are thankful for your generosity!
10th Grade Financial Aid Night: Join our DVC Financial Literacy Teacher, Mr. Jackson, for an engaging and practical workshop covering:
