Two weeks left of school! During Friday’s CD, we celebrated our seniors (including those playing sports in college!), took a whole school photo (see it below!), crowned the 2025 Advisory Tournament Champions (congrats to Carrillo’s Chismosos), awarded All-Stars (listed below), and played the final round of Advisory Olympics.
We begin Presentations of Learning (POLs) and Final Exams on Tuesday, 6/3! School dismissal will be at 2pm starting Tuesday and continuing through the last day of school. POL & Finals Info (June 2025)
One of the expectations for a Presentation of Learning (POL) is that students come in professional dress. Please note that we have many professional dress items at DVC – just ask at the front office!
At DVC, professional dress is defined as including the following:
- HEAD: Hair should not cover the face; no hats
- SHOULDERS: Button-down dress shirt (shirt must be tucked in) or or non-revealing blouse (must cover shoulders); Suit jacket (optional)
- KNEES: Khaki pants or dress pants (no jeans); Dress or skirt that touches tops of knees when standing up straight
- TOES: Closed-toe dress shoes (no sneakers or excessively high heels)
If a student misses their POL for any reason, this is the process:
- Parent/guardian contacts the teachers who have been affected by the absence. Email is the preferred method of communication.
- Teacher(s) confirm receipt of the request for a presentation.
- Student schedules a time to meet with the teacher to discuss the missed presentation and potential make-up.
- Teachers determine if and when the student will present at a new date and time. If a make-up is scheduled, parent/guardian and student will be informed via email of the new date and time.
