Principal's Corner 🍎
Greetings Aspire Families:
As we welcome the month of October, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the hard work and dedication our Aspire community has shown this school year. We’ve accomplished so much already, and it’s exciting to see the growth and progress in all areas of our school community.
With Fall Break just around the corner, I encourage everyone to take this time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. Whether you're traveling or staying local, I hope you all have a safe, fun, and relaxing break. You deserve it!
Let's return after break with renewed energy, ready to tackle the second half of the semester with enthusiasm and determination.
Have a wonderful Fall Break, and we look forward to seeing you back soon!
🎃🦇👻🎃🦇👻 Trunk or Treat! : Mark you calendars : our annual Trunk Or Treat event is Friday, October 25th from 4:00 - 5:30. If would like to contribute to support a teacher's car / trunk, donations can be dropped off at the front office. Thanks! 🎃🦇👻🎃🦇👻
🎒Parent Teacher Conferences: will be scheduled in October. Be on the look out for teacher emails and announcements.
🏛️Innovation Center Behaviors: Students, please remember to follow all school rules while on site at the Innovation Center. Parents and Students: the use of cell phones is not permitted during class time. They cause a distraction to other in person learners.
💻Classroom Routines: By now, students should be familiar with their daily routines and expectations. Please continue to encourage them to stay organized and focused as they adapt to the new school year.
✅ Attendance Submission: Remember to submit your attendance via My Hours. This helps us keep track of your participation and ensures we can provide the necessary supports for your learning. Your attendance is crucial, so please make sure to submit it on time.
Have a wonderful and restful weekend!
As always, if you questions or concerns, please contact your administrator,
Mrs. Juliet Amara @ Aspire@dvusd.org.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Thursday, October 17th from 1-6pm.

We look forward to sharing student academic progress with parents and families!
