By Dan Wille, Assistant Principal The D’Evelyn Founding Document outlines our important belief “that all students, not just an elite group, should be held to rigorous academic and behavioral standards, and that all students can achieve in a challenging program.” This core belief is fundamental to our daily endeavors laying a foundation to ensure our strong Liberal Arts curriculum is effectively engaged by all our students. We love our students and have unyielding confidence in their abilities to not only thrive in academics, but demonstrate goodness, compassion, integrity, honor, and resilience. For this reason, we enter into an agreement with all of our students which promotes a steadfast focus on academic and behavioral expectations to ensure that all our students experience an optimal environment for both academic and personal development. This agreement is found in D’Evelyn’s Academic and Behavioral Contracts which all students received this week. These two contracts summarize the expectations and responsibilities students are held to during their time at D’Evelyn. The Academic Contract provides vital information about what students can expect in regard to their academic workload, how to be prepared for class, what they must accomplish in order to graduate from D’Evelyn, and other important policies impacting a student’s academic success. The Behavioral Contract establishes behavioral standards that are designed to influence students for life helping them grow-up right by reinforcing honesty, compassion, self-control, responsibility, and courtesy as key character traits. Every year these contracts are distributed for students to bring home, review, and sign with parents/guardians. We are asking all students to return these signed contracts by Thursday, August 22nd. These contracts are also available online for review using the following link: https://bit.ly/2MkgW55. We thank all D’Evelyn families for their dedication to our program and helping us to not only develop great scholars, but also help kids grow into the best versions of themselves, ready to succeed in their post-secondary endeavors.
