We hope you are able to rest and enjoy Labor Day Weekend! We will welcome everyone back to school on Tuesday, 9/3 at 8:30am. We’ve had two terrific weeks of school so far and looking forward to many more!
Cell Phone Policy: DVC is implementing a new Cell Phone & Personal Electronics Policy effective Tuesday, 9/3. You can see the entire policy at this link. The most important piece of the policy to understand is this: Any cell phone that is seen during instructional time will be confiscated (no warnings) and turned into administration for parent/guardian pick up. Our overall goal is for responsible digital citizenship and academic success. We appreciate your cooperation and partnership.
Back to School Night: Please mark your calendars for Back to School Night on Thursday, 9/12 at 5:15pm! All DVC parents and guardians are expected to attend. This is an evening designed for parents and guardians to be in their student’s classrooms and learn about the courses they are taking. Students are not required to attend. Parents/guardians will receive information about logging into Canvas and PowerSchool at this event. The schedule is as follows:
