Support DVD and The Cupid Project

The Cupid Project was born out of a deep-rooted passion for helping others and making a difference. Their mission is to inspire a more empathetic and service oriented society. The Cupid Project has an unwavering commitment to combatting loneliness and fostering community connections. Their annual card-giving project has become a beacon of love, inspiring individuals and communities worldwide. And DVD wants to support this. Therefore, DVD will be making Valentine’s Day Cards and dropping them off at various assisted living places and nursing homes. Our students will have opportunities to make cards the week of February 9th. We will then drop them off at the end of the week. Our school is asking for donations/supplies for this project. We are collecting stickers, construction paper, scissors, glue, glitter pens, heart cut outs, and any other Valentine’s Day themed art supplies. Donations can be dropped off in the main office of the 1st floor. We thank you so much! For more information please visit www.thecupidproject.org or their Instagram @thecupidproject

Reminder to our Student Athletes

Reminder to WDV Student Athletes: Regarding Early Dismissal for Games/Meets

We are proud of the commitment you make as student-athletes. Participating in athletics is a privilege and an opportunity to represent yourself, your team, our school, and our organization with pride. We appreciate the dedication it takes to balance academics and athletics, and we want to support your success in both.

To help maintain consistency and fairness, the front office and school staff follow official dismissal directives from the Athletics Department for games, meets, and athletic events. These dismissal times are thoughtfully determined to protect instructional time while ensuring you arrive prepared for competition.

Please remain in class until your approved dismissal time. Leaving class earlier than authorized creates confusion and disrupts expectations across campus.

If a student-athlete leaves class before the approved dismissal time, the incident will be reported to the Athletics Department and will receive follow-up actions from the department, coach, and/or team leadership.

Our goal is not punishment, but accountability and growth. By following these expectations, you help strengthen trust, demonstrate responsibility, and represent our athletic programs in a positive way. Thank you for your cooperation and for continuing to show what it means to be a student-athlete.

POL Treats for Teachers: Design Families: 2025 POL Coffee & Snack Sign-Up

  • While our students are preparing and presenting the learning they’ve achieved over the semester, our teachers are hard at work viewing and scoring those presentations. For teachers, this also means long, 8 hour days being a part of panels.
  • One way that we show appreciation for our teachers during these long days is keeping them fed and caffeinated. And we would love your help!
  • If you would like to donate snacks like breakfast treats and coffee to our teachers, please use the sign-up below to tell us what you will be dropping off.
  • Here is the sign up link! Design Families: 2025 POL Coffee & Snack Sign-Up

Designers! The finish line is near! Keep up that energy!
