Dear Families,
We are excited to announce that registration is now OPEN for the Young Mathematicians Summer Institute, facilitated by the UCLA Math Project. This engaging four-day or five-day workshop is designed for students in grades 9-12. Learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret data—a critical skill for success in college. Whether you’re writing research papers, conducting experiments, or evaluating information in other courses, a strong foundation in statistics will help you make sense of complex data, back up your ideas with evidence, and think critically. These skills are not only vital across many college majors but also prepare you for real-world decision-making and problem-solving in your future career.

We celebrated our Spirit Week this past week, and it was amazing to see all of the student (and staff) participation! From wearing PJs to Soccer Moms vs. BBQ Dads, and from Hippie Day to our color-themed Valentine’s Day, there was a lot of excitement and cool outfits every day. In addition, Valentine’s Day was extra-special and filled with love, as every DVC student received a Valentine’s Day teacher gram and candy from Leadership. A big thanks to Leadership for creating this week!
We have another Spirit Week coming up this week for Black History Month! Our annual Black History Month CD will take place on Thursday, and our Black Student Union has been planning and preparing for what is always an exciting and educational event. We look forward to performances from the DVC Step Team, student singers, the DV Choir, and a fashion show, in addition to fun games and recognizing our grade-level all stars.
