We are noticing that due to increased waiting times at the student drop-off and pick-up area, some students are being picked up in the student parking lot, located on the west side of the building, and in the special education area, located on the southeast corner of the building.

While these options may seem like a good alternative, they are not. They create additional congestion in areas already congested or not designed for that purpose. Please, keep in mind that we want you to have a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience, and sticking to the plan of using the area outside of door 17 is the best way to make sure you have a positive, safe experience.

Please be reminded, if you want your student to leave early after they are finished with finals each day, we ask that you call or email early in the morning, so there are minimal disruptions to the classroom while students are testing.

We appreciate your help in this!

Students who attend Area 31, we are aware our period 3 final may conflict with Area 31 finals for our Area 31 PM students. If that is the case, students will need to make arrangements with their DCHS period 3 teacher to take the final during the period 4 or 6 final on Thursday, December 19th.

If your student will be absent or tardy, please notify the office by calling 317-745-6431 or emailing hsattendance@danville.k12.in.us.

If your student needs to be released early, please contact the office early in the day to avoid classroom interruptions and to make sure your student is released in a timely manner. Thank you!

DCHS Warriors All-Sports Passes are back! Passes can be purchased at any time at https://danvilleathletics.com/Tickets. Senior citizens, who are also Danville residents, are eligible for a free, lifetime Silver Pass. Interested individuals must stop by the DCSC administration office, in person, to obtain this pass.

Please contact the Athletic Department at 317-745-3929 with further questions.

Students can enter the building at 8:15 AM and may congregate in the cafeteria and commons areas until 8:25 AM when they are permitted to go to their classrooms. If you drop off your student prior to 8:15 AM, they will have to wait outside.

As a reminder, student Chromebooks have a protection policy against accidental damage. This policy requires that the case must remain on the Chromebook at all times. Damage that takes place without the case could be subject to a repair fee.

Students can have Chromebook issues addressed before school or Monday through Thursday during their lunch. See Mrs. McQuinn in the Student Support Center (adjacent to the cafeteria).

As a reminder, students are prohibited from receiving food deliveries from restaurants or third-party vendors during the academic day. Parents are still allowed to drop off lunch for their children. Any food delivered prior to the end of the school day from a third party will not be accessible to the student. For after-school events, students can have food items delivered, but these must be placed on a cart on the exterior of the building. This cart will be accessible from the main office only after the academic day concludes. This policy is established to maintain the safety and security of the school environment. We appreciate your cooperation.

Students planning to drive to school will need to purchase a parking pass. To register, please use the link that corresponds to your class:

Class of 2025

Class of 2026

Class of 2027

Class of 2028

Once students register, they can bring their payment to the front office and pick up their pass at the same time.

One thing to note....if your student already has a parking pass, they do not need to register/pay for another pass this year. The pass they received last year is good until they graduate. If your student has misplaced their pass, they will need to stop in the main office to get a replacement. There is a $10 charge to replace a pass.

If your student is driving a different vehicle this year and already has a parking permit, they will need to stop in the front office to update that information.

ID Cards & Lanyards - Effective this year, students and staff are required to wear their school issued lanyard & ID card during the school day.

Yearbooks - Yearbooks can be purchased for $65 by clicking/scanning the adjacent QR code.
