Greetings Pioneers,
The time has come to bid farewell to our seniors, the class of 2023, who are soon to embark on a new journey in their lives. The past few years have been a journey of growth and learning, and our seniors have been an integral part of this experience. Seniors will take their final exams on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Following their finals on Thursday, they will pick up their cap and gowns before they walk out of DHS for the last time – as our students. We are very proud of our seniors and know that they will make us proud as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.
Please make sure you plan for your family trips when school is out. We encourage families to create memories and ask that you plan these trips according to the district’s school calendar. Please be aware that students’ absences for family vacations does count towards audit. Our teachers work hard to ensure that every minute counts as our motto is “bell to bell instruction”. Your partnership and support are key to ensuring that your child doesn’t fall behind due to family vacations during school time.
The last day of school is June 15th. Students will have finals June 13-15th. Finals will not be given earlier. Please make any vacation arrangements after the last day of school. Students who are going on vacation earlier will be impacted by the audit policy.
As always, we appreciate your support and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns.
