Back to School Night: Please mark your calendars for our Back to School Night on September 7th at 5:30pm! You will have an opportunity to meet your student’s teachers and be in the classrooms. We encourage you to arrive early to ensure time for parking and picking up your student’s schedule.
Club Applications: Interested in starting or continuing a club at DVC? Please complete this application by Friday, September 1st!
Tutoring: We are pleased to offer free after school tutoring Mondays through Thursdays! Our tutor, Alex, specializes in math and science, but he is willing to help all students in all subjects. Tutoring will take place in Room 3204 (Rob’s room) according to the following schedule:

School Supplies: If you are in need of school supplies, please stop by the front desk and we’d be happy to assist you!
Wednesday Snacks for DVC Staff: We have regular staff collaboration time on Wednesdays from 2:30 – 4:00pm. We are hoping to have 2 families supply snacks/treats for us each Wednesday. We need snacks for about 40 staff members in total, so each family would contribute snacks for about 20 individuals. If you are willing and able to help, please sign up here: Wednesday Snack Sign Up . If you’d like to supply snacks for 40, please sign up for both slots. Thank you!
