Here is the Bell Schedule for Week 33 at DVD:
With the end of the semester and POLs approaching soon, it is time for our last round of progress reports. Progress reports are being mailed home next week on May 9th. The purpose of progress reports is to give families the opportunity to have a snapshot of student progress, and to be able to have a conversation at home with students about how to stay successful in school. This information will also be used by teachers and counselors in their plans to support all students. Please follow up with your child’s teachers directly with any questions about assignments or grades.
