Wolverine Weekly - October 31

Do you remember a time when your child came home glowing because a teacher had gone out of their way to help them achieve something extraordinary? How about when you were completely at a loss with a situation, and a staff member took the time to walk you through it? Is there a certain teacher or staff member who stands out in your mind as truly unmatched? Nominate them for a 2025 Apple Award HERE!

The Foundation for Douglas County Schools continues it's tradition of honoring exceptional educators and staff who are inspiring a love of learning in students and are trailblazing extraordinary innovation in our schools. The annual Apple Awards brings in thousands of nominations every year for teachers and staff members across the district. The event will take place Saturday, March 29, 2025 at DCSD's Legacy Campus.

NOMINATE NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER 11!

Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word about or volunteered at the Chaparral Showcase. We appreciate your time and energy.

Homeroom and Advisement are critical periods of our school days. On Tuesdays during Advisement students are encouraged to seek help from teachers, make-up tests and work with tutors. On Thursday during some Homerooms we utilize this time to do presentations, have seminars and grade level meeting to avoid using academic course time. In order to help students plan their time, we are attaching the Homeroom and Advisement Calendar for the second quarter.. We hope that this will be a valuable tool for parents and students to know what is happening in our building.
