Our first week back ended in recognition of over 235 DVC students! Students were celebrated for making the Honor Roll (3.5 – 3.9 GPA) or High Honor Roll (4.0+ GPA) for Semester 1. Honor Roll certificates will be distributed during Advisory on Monday. DVC staff also gave out End-of-Semester Awards such as the Resilience Award, the Positivity Award, and the POL All-Star Award. Congratulations to all students who were recognized for their hard work and achievement!
Seminars: This week we resume our seminar program on Monday, 1/22 with a slight change in our seminar day pairings. Students will have one seminar that meets on Mondays and Fridays, and another seminar that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As always, we do our best to enroll students in seminars that align with their preferences. Students will receive a schedule with their seminar enrollments on Monday, 1/22 during Period 5. If a student would like to request a seminar change, they will have until Monday, January 29th at 11:59pm to do so via the Schedule Change Request Form (which is linked here, but not yet open). Please note that students must attend the seminars they are enrolled in until they receive a new schedule from their counselor that informs them of a schedule change.
