We had a terrific first week of school! You can enjoy lots of pictures of the first day from our awesome photographer, Stacee Lianna, at this link: First Day Photos

Overnighter Recap: On Thursday and Friday, we adventured to the mountains with the awesome Class of 2028 to begin the school year with The Overnighter, a special trip to welcome our 9th graders to DVC. A video celebrating The Overnighter was put together by DVC Media Production Teacher, Tangier Clarke. You can check it out at this link: The DVC Class of 2028 Overnighter Slideshow

Picture Days: Students will take their school pictures on Thursday, 8/29 and Friday, 8/30 during their English class. This means that if they have English during periods 1, 3, or 5, they will take their photo on Thursday. If they have English during periods 2, 4, or 6, they will take their photo on Friday. Makeup picture day is Thursday, 9/19.

Seminars Start Monday: Students are currently being enrolled in seminar classes. Seminars are elective periods that meet on Monday and Fridays (Period MF) or Tuesdays and Thursdays (Period TTH). We do our best to match students with their preferences. New printed schedules will be delivered to students during Period 5 on Monday. Students cannot request a change to their seminar classes until Wednesday, 8/28. If a student would like to request a seminar change, they can use this form when it opens on Wednesday, 8/28: DVC Schedule Change Request Form We will do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible. The form is only accessible by students through their DV google account. Students are required to attend the classes they are assigned unless they are given a new schedule by school staff.
