Dear DVD Families,

It is with mixed emotions that I inform you I will be resigning as principal at the end of this academic year. It was a difficult decision as I truly feel honored to have worked with the amazing staff, students, and parents at DVD. It has been a privilege to see all our students grow over these past years and I firmly believe that our dedicated staff make this school an exceptional place for learning.

I will be working alongside the Central Office to ensure a smooth transition. If you have any questions about the leadership transition, please feel free to reach out to us at school by calling or sending an email.

Kind regards,

Veronica Rodriguez

Dear Families of DVD Seniors,

We are writing to inform you that our plans for graduation have changed. Instead of having 6 micro-graduations, we are shifting to one outdoor celebration on Tuesday, June 8th at 4pm. We acknowledge that many of you have made plans for the dates and times you previously signed up for, and we apologize for the inconvenience. As the guidelines around events and Covid-19 have changed, we have been able to arrange one culminating outdoor event that will be an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the entire Class of 2021 on their special day. This event will require that all guests are pre-registered. Each graduate will be permitted to bring four guests. At this time, we do not anticipate that any family will be able to bring more than 4 guests. We are grateful for your flexibility and patience during this time, and we look forward to celebrating all of the Class of 2021 together on Tuesday, June 8th at 4pm.
