Welcome To Week #20

Dear Brahma Family,

This was a difficult week for all of us in the Los Angeles area, and I want to acknowledge the stress and heartbreak many are feeling following last week’s wildfires. While our community was fortunate to be spared this time, we know that many of you have family, friends, and neighbors who were directly impacted—some losing homes and facing unimaginable challenges.

For some in our community, these events also stir vivid memories of times when wildfires hit much closer to home. We understand that these experiences can weigh heavily. If you or someone you know needs support, whether it’s emotional or practical, don’t hesitate to reach out. If your children need support, please send them to their GLC, we are here to help and connect you with resources.

Our thoughts remain with those affected, and we send strength to everyone navigating these difficult times.

Sincerely,

David Hong

Principal

In the interest of saving time, money and resources, DBHS grade reporting is going 100% digital. Printed reported cards will not be sent. You can continue to view both your progress report grades, as well as your semester grades, in Aeries Portal. Once you log in, click on GRADES in the left column. Fall Semester grades will be posted in Aeries Portal January 9, 2025.

SENIORS, go online as soon as possible to fill out your Free Application forFederal Student Aid at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. Don’t wait until your parents’ tax return is ready – you’ll use the information from their 2022 tax return. Again, it’s best to get your FAFSA filled out as early as possible, and the F in FAFSA stands for free so if you’re ever on a website that asks for you to pay them money, you’re in the wrong place.

REMINDER: THE FAFSA IS NOT OPTIONAL! California Assembly Bill 132 was

signed into law last year and requires school districts to confirm SENIORS have completed the FAFSA or California Dream Act application (https://dream.csac.ca.gov/landing) before graduating. There is a way to opt-out of completing the FAFSA, and if that’s what you and your parents want to do, you’ll have to pick up that opt-out form from your GLC and return it in order to qualify for graduation. “Hey, man, why aren’t you going to graduation practice?” “Oh, I never filled out the FAFSA or the opt-out form. You can’t tell me what to do!” “Oh… um, good one. You’re really showing…someone… something.”
