• Do not sign your child out on testing days. Please make all appointments for another day or later in the day. If an appointment cannot be avoided please let your teacher know as soon as possible so that we can already plan a make up day for your child.
• Week of March 31 - April 3rd- ALL students are required to bring a sack lunch or they may buy a sack lunch from the cafe. Please check the calendar below for your student's writing day.

During our 2:00 pm dismissal time teachers meet in together and we call these Collaborative Team meetings. West Wing is a PLC school (Professional Learning Community). Our 90 minute early release days support planning for student learning, interventions, and targeted support. This time is invaluable to our teachers, and our students, as it gives critical time to our teacher teams to design skill-based instruction and assessments, review student progress data, and design supports and interventions. Learn more about what happens in PLC at DVUSD.org/PLC.
