All new students are expected to take the placement test. Students that do not take the placement test, will be placed no higher than their grade level math course. The Math Placement test will be offered as follows:
If you can not attend on your assigned day, please email [email protected]. The testing will take place at D'Evelyn Jr. Sr. High School, in the cafeteria. We will have staff available at the front entrance to direct students to the cafeteria test location. No RSVP is necessary. Students should bring a couple of pencils, calculators are not allowed. Parents will be directed to the library upstairs for the parent information meeting. Parents should bring their child's Jeffco-issued Chromebook (if the child has one) and know the username and password to log into the computer, as we will be showing parents some important tools. We will also be explaining some of our school systems, communication tips, and counseling support, and end with a Q & A session. Arriving 5-10 minutes early should allow us to get started promptly at 4 pm. Results of the math placement test will be emailed in May, so please do not contact the school before then. We have opened this clinic up to ages 8-18. To attend the clinic, please sign up on the sign-up genius. You can bring cash on the day of the event. Before the event, we will send out a "What to Expect" document. The Clinic will be held at the Foothills Ridge Lap Pool.  The Colorado School of Mines chapter of SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration) will be at D'Evelyn on April 3rd during 7th hour. This is an outreach program aimed at high school students in the Denver area to talk to students about the importance of mining, career opportunities, and what it’s like to be an engineering student at Mines.

Senior Parents, time to start planning your student's senior montage. A montage is a photo collage of highlights from your senior's life so far. Completed montages will be on display at After Prom, in the counseling office, and at the Senior Banquet. Start collecting photos now for this project. It is a special keepsake for their senior year and a great way to celebrate them. The Senior Montages are due April 21. If you have any questions, please contact the senior montage coordinators, Ann Lisa Senior at [email protected] and Kristi Gulley at [email protected]. Senior Montage Instructions 2023 A montage is simply a photo collage of highlights from your senior's life. There is no single way to do this; no right or wrong.

Seniors and Senior Families, we are three months away from Graduation and the end of the D’Evelyn journey for the Class of 2023. This is an exciting time for all involved, but also a stressful one. D’Evelyn wants to make sure that everyone is on the same page and has all of their questions answered before we go into Spring Break. On Tuesday, March 14th at 7:00 pm in the D’Evelyn Auditorium, a mandatory Senior parent meeting will be held. During this meeting, we will cover information about Senior events throughout the rest of the school year. This includes but is not limited to: Senior Banquet, Senior Finals, Baccalaureate, Prom, After Prom, and Graduation. Additionally, the Senior Contract will be distributed and reviewed. We want to make sure that everyone enjoys the end of their time at D’Evelyn, and we have learned in the past that having a Senior Contract is the best way to ensure that everyone in the D’Evelyn community has a good spring. We look forward to seeing all of you in the Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14th. If you have any questions before this meeting, please reach out to Assistant Principal Eric McCaslin-Hahn ([email protected]) |
