DCA Weekly Update

September 27, 2024

Message from the Principal

Dear DCA Students & Families,

October is right around the corner and we would like you to check in with one another about student progress.

Here are some questions to discuss:

Do you have a schedule to ensure that work is completed by Wednesday and Sunday?
Have you attended Office Hours or Drop-In Center to get help or meet with teachers to communicate questions or needs?
Is there a class that you particularly enjoy? Why? (This information is great for us to know as well.)
What do you need and who do you think might be able to help you to achieve success?

Please reach out to teachers to share needs as we embark on the last third of the marking period.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Kecia Nesmith

Principal of the Downingtown Cyber Academy and Supervisor of Teaching & Learning
