Families – everyone is invited to join us, and senior families, please come out to support your graduating students on Tuesday May 30th at 5:30 to celebrate the work that seniors did this semester at our DVC Senior Showcase. The students will be sharing their Senior Projects on the DVC campus from 5:30-6:30. We look forward to seeing you there!
POLs begin on Tuesday, and as such we have our minimum day schedules. We have a normal Friday schedule tomorrow, followed by the POL half day schedule all next week and June 5th and 6th. The last day of school on June 7th is a full day.
We would like to extend an invitation to all parents to attend and see their child’s POL and see their growth as a learning in this past year.
Reminder: We will be taking a senior class photo during senior breakfast!

Posse offers these selected students the opportunity to pursue both academic and personal excellence by partnering with universities countrywide and awarding them with four-year, full-tuition leadership scholarships. The Posse Foundation selects only 10 students per college in the Los Angeles area making the process extremely competitive.
In order to qualify for the scholarship, the student must fill out The Posse Foundation Application Nomination Form located in the office. All applications are due May 31st and students will find out if they are nominated during POLS week. Once nominated, the student will part-take in a three-part process, including large group and individual interviews. Posse staff and university partner administrators ultimately select a diverse group of 10 students for each college or university, thus forming a Posse. Please encourage your child to apply to the Posse Foundation.
