⏰ 2 DAYS LEFT!

DCVS students, we are almost there! You have just TWO DAYS left to complete all required classwork and assessments for the first nine weeks.

Please make sure you:

• Complete ALL required assignments and assessments.
• Check each of your classes for missing work.
• Contact your teacher if you need clarification or assistance.
• Finish your work by Friday.

After Friday, you will no longer have access to the first nine weeks’ material. Any work that is not completed by the deadline will convert to a 0%, which could make the difference between passing and failing a class.

Let’s go into Fall Break on Friday feeling proud, knowing we gave it our all! 🍂

You’ve got this, Wolves! ❤️🖤

We are hosting two identical Title I Parent Meetings on Thursday, October 15, 2026, so you can choose the time that works best for your schedule. Both sessions will take place in the DCVS Academic Cafe.
🗓️ Session Options:
Morning Session (Title I Parent Meeting): Starts at 9:00 AM. Come learn about our Title I program, available resources, and how we work together to support

Evening Session (Title I Meeting & Murder Mystery): Starts at 5:30 PM. This features a repeat of the morning Title I session, followed immediately by "Murder Mystery: Asylum"—an evening of suspense, clues, and fun!

Can't make it to either session?
Don't worry! Your voice matters to us. We will be sending out a video recording of the meeting along with a Google Form after the event. This will give you the opportunity to catch up, provide feedback, and ask any questions you may have.

All families are welcome! Together we make a difference.
