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
