Good morning. This is your DVC counseling team, and this week, we are celebrating National School Counseling Week. Yesterday, we talked about how
our job is to help you be successful and work toward your dreams. But did you know that we’ve achieved one of my dreams just by being your school counselor? It’s true. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn said, “Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get
there.” Our goal was to become a school counselor so we could support students like you. And we couldn’t be happier to be here. Every day is different, but we can tell you that we get tremendous joy in seeing you succeed. Your dreams are our dreams. Thanks for helping make our dreams
come true! Have a great Tuesday!
Your DVC counselors!

Good morning. This is the DVC counseling team and today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The theme of this year’s week is “School
Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Did you know that my number one goal, as a school counselor, is to help you succeed?
Whatever you need to be successful at school – whether that’s learning how to stay motivated to complete your work, having positive relationships with your fellow students, advocating for yourself, or overcoming barriers – we are here for it. You’ve probably heard of actor and producer Tyler Perry. He said, “I don’t think the dreams die. I think people give up. I think it gets too hard.” Sometimes achieving your dreams is hard, but we are here to help you not give up.
As your school counselor, we want to help you achieve your dreams. What are your dreams? How can we help you make a plan to achieve them? Let’s talk about it. Have a great Monday!
Your DVC counseling team!
We had a great week at DVC! We had a great kickoff to a rocket launch project in 9th Grade Computer Science and Physics in collaboration with the Aerospace Corporation. A big shoutout to our DVC student athletes, as well, especially our seniors who have been celebrating their senior nights! We see you out there representing our school well and making us proud.
Week 22 Schedule: We are celebrating National School Counseling Week with some fun themed days!
Please consider writing a message of gratitude to our school counselors this week:
After-School Tutoring: We are thrilled to be able to offer after school tutoring after school on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:35 – 4:35!

This is open to all grade-levels; we will let students know the location of the tutoring during grade-level homeroom on Monday.
