We will be having our annual D’Evelyn High School Academic Letter Ceremony on Thursday, November 9th, starting at 7:00 am in the auditorium. Parents of high school students that earned at least a 3.5 G.P.A. for both semesters of the 2016-2017 school year, should have received a letter of invitation to the ceremony. We have also posted the list of qualifying students names outside of the counseling department. If you did not receive a letter, but believe that your high school student meets the qualifications please email Mr. Kottcamp at [email protected]. By Beverly Haynie, Assistant Principal
D’Evelyn Junior Senior High School has been randomly selected as one of the schools that has the opportunity to take the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) this year. This is a survey that collects information from Colorado youth every two years about health-related attitudes and behaviors. Being selected to participate in this survey provides a unique opportunity for us to better understand the strengths and needs of our D’Evelyn community. The data provided from the HKCS can help us understand current trends here at D’Evelyn and throughout Colorado. It provides us with an opportunity to enhance programming to grow health and well-being for our youth. Students can take the survey with confidence that their answers are completely anonymous. Data will look at overall trends. Names and other identifying information will not be asked for on this survey, and results will be completely anonymous. The information we learn from this survey can shape our programs targeting our school community and the health and well-being of our students. For the information to be reflective of all students, we would like all students to take the survey. Please help us get there by providing approval for your student to take the HKCS. This survey will be administered here at D’Evelyn during 7th hour on the 6th and 7th of November. There are different surveys for junior high and high school students, which will be administered separately (high school students will take the survey during 7th hour on 11/6 and junior high students will take the survey during 7th hour on 11/7). Only students with signed permission will be able to take the survey, so we ask that you take a moment to provide permission. Please click on the following link to provide permission electronically https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyVqfBRF9DzrI9MUlcl0-UUb1te0jevRDqPJeTRqxXQ4Xy4w/viewform or fill out a permission form in the main office by Thursday, November 2nd. Remember that the results will be anonymous, and can benefit your child, the school, and the community. If you have any questions about the survey or your child’s participation, please visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s webpage about the HKCS at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/hkcs. Also, please feel free to call Bev Haynie, D’Evelyn Assistant Principal, at 303.982.2034 or Suzanne Roberts, Social Emotional Learning Specialist, at 303.982.2632 with any questions. By Lisa Baird There is still time to join over 180 other D’Evelyn friends at our annual auction, but tickets are selling quickly! We have extended the deadline to purchase tickets at the reduced rate of $50 until October 31st. Return your RSVP or purchase your tickets online soon. And, if the opportunity for a night out without the kids is not enough, we have another great reason to attend the Auction. LIVE MUSIC! We are honored that Randy Chavez will be playing improvisational guitar at the Annual Auction; “imagining” live on the spot. A second guitarist and D'Evelyn dad, Frank Py will be jamming with Randy as well. Randy’s lifetime passion for guitar playing has taken him on a journey of performing with notable stars ranging from Bob Hope and Andy Kaufman, to most recently Steve Vai, Garth Brooks, and Brad Paisley. Randy is perhaps best known as the guitarist and producer for the popular band “Opie Gone Bad”. Randy is currently the guitarist for the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. He also designs and builds his own guitar amplifiers and effects for himself and for other nationally known guitar players. Our Annual Auction would not be possible without generous sponsors.

By Ashley Lemons, RN, BSN Colorado State Law requires that students are compliant with immunization requirements within 2 weeks of the start of school. Individual letters will be going out in the next few weeks for those who are noncompliant with the required immunizations. In order to comply with state law, PLEASE provide the school with an immunization record after your child has received the immunizations(s) that are missing OR a signed Exemption Form AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Immunization compliance data is collected yearly by your district nurse and reported to the state. Our goal is for D’Evelyn to be 100% compliant before November 10. Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect infants, children and teens from 16 potentially harmful diseases. Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly – especially in infants and young children. In addition to the required immunizations, there are several recommended immunizations. Between 13 through 18 years old, your child should visit the doctor once each year for check-ups. This can be a great time to get any vaccines your teen may need. Below are vaccines recommended for your teen. The following vaccines are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), other medical societies, and CDC:
--A flu shot can keep your child from getting sick with flu. --Influenza can be more serious than the common cold. It can lead to serious complications, including hospitalization or death. CDC estimates that since 2010, flu-related hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years have ranged from 7,000 to 26,000 in the United States. --Since 2004-2005, flu-related deaths in children reported to CDC during regular flu seasons have ranged from a low of 37 deaths (2011-2012) to 171 deaths (2012-2013). --Children, especially school-aged children, are more likely to catch the flu. Millions of children get sick with flu every season. A typical flu illness can mean missing a week or more of school. Once infected, children can spread the flu to parents and siblings, other family members, and friends. --Vaccinating your child protects people around them (like grandparents, babies or anyone with long-term health problems) who are more vulnerable to flu. --Children with certain long-term health conditions (like asthma or diabetes) and all children younger than 5 years are at high risk of serious illness when they get the flu. --Flu vaccine is not perfect. Some vaccinated people may still get sick, but if they do, flu vaccine may make their illness milder. --Flu vaccines are among the safest medical products in use. Hundreds of millions of people have safely gotten flu vaccines for more than 50 years. There may be mild side effects from getting vaccinated, but these are so much less of a problem than getting sick with the flu!
