Principal's Corner 🍎
🪑Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Anything But a Chair event! It was wonderful to see such a great turnout, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and creativity that made the event a memorable success.
🎓For our high school students, a quick reminder: If you haven’t completed your Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP) yet, please reach out to Aspire Counseling at Aspirecounseling@dvusd.org for assistance. The ECAP is an important part of planning for your future, so be sure to check this off your list soon.
🪖We also have some exciting events on the horizon! On November 20, 2024, we’ll be hosting a celebration in honor of Veterans Day. This will be a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for the service and sacrifices of our veterans, and we look forward to having our school community come together for this special occasion. Lastly, please remember that there will be no school on November 11, 2024, as we celebrate the brave service members of our country.
Thank you for your continued hard work, dedication, and school spirit. Let’s make this week a great one!
