Using CLEP Exams to Earn College Credit

March 31, 2023 by Emily Shapiro

As College Decision Day approaches on May 1, families may want to take a moment to learn about the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) for students to potentially earn college credit and test out of certain general education courses at 2,900 participating colleges across the U.S.

Administered by the College Board, CLEP is a non-school sponsored opportunity. CLEP exams allow students who are already proficient in a particular subject(s) to test out of introductory courses and move to more advanced courses sooner, saving time and money toward their degree. Students take CLEP exams at an official CLEP test center or at home with remote proctoring. Students receives scores immediately after completing the exam except for College Composition and Spanish with Writing.

To learn more about this program, visit clep.collegeboard.org.

Many thanks to DVD parent Carolyn Mortley who shared this resource with us.

Thank you for coming to Exhibition Night!

March 30, 2023 by Erin D'Souza


Dear DVC Students and Families,

We are so proud of the creative and engaging ways in which our 9th and 11th grade students demonstrated their learning at our Exhibition Night! We are also grateful for the great turnout and terrific positive energy and support from our DVC families. Thank you for coming out last night!

There is no school tomorrow (Friday, March 31st) in recognition of César Chávez Day. We recognize and commemorate the history of the farm labor movement in the United States and particularly the role therein of César Chávez.

Next week is Spring Break, so school is also closed from Monday, 4/3 – Friday, 4/7. School resumes on Monday, April 10th.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, restful week away from DVC!

Sincerely,

Erin D’Souza, Principal
