It was a pleasure to welcome back our students, faculty, and staff for the start of 1st semester on Wednesday! I hope that you and your families enjoyed a happy holiday season and a great new year. I am looking forward to a great 2nd semester at D’Evelyn. The Winter Break included several tragic events in the greater Denver metro area, as well as a significant increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in our community. The victims of the senseless violence in Lakewood and Denver and the Boulder County wildfires in the past two weeks are in my thoughts as we reconvene for this semester. It is my most sincere hope that all members of the D’Evelyn community were not impacted by these tragic events. As the new semester begins, we continue to navigate the challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. I am thrilled that we are able to resume this semester in full in-person learning, in spite of the big spike in cases over the holidays. I am planning that we will be able to stay in the 100% in-person learning model for the duration of the year. In order to support our efforts to keep our community as healthy as possible, please ensure that your child(ren) stay home when they are sick, particularly when they are exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19. As teachers have outlined in the classrooms to start the semester, students can access classroom materials through Google Classroom or teacher websites (in the specific case of Science teachers). By utilizing available online resources from their teachers, we encourage students that are home and well enough to do so to keep up with their schoolwork to the greatest extent possible. I offer my best wishes for the health and wellbeing of all members of our community throughout this semester. Finally, I encourage our students to focus on a strong start to the semester, building solid routines and commitment to their academic class work from this first week of the new year. By establishing a strong start early in the semester, students will have a solid foundation for successful learning throughout the rest of the semester. Additionally, it is far easier to maintain grades throughout the semester than it is to raise them substantially over the course of the semester. I hope that all students will take the opportunity to start this semester off successfully. I wish all of our students an outstanding semester of rich learning, great growth, and fulfilling social and extracurricular opportunities at D’Evelyn. Thank you for your continued support of your child(ren) and our school!
