Please accept my best wishes to you and your family for a great Spring Break! This is an important time for D’Evelyn students, staff, and families to rest and relax prior to the last few weeks of the school year. In a rigorous, challenging environment like that of D’Evelyn, it is particularly helpful for our community members to recharge throughout the year. April and May tend to be very exciting and busy periods of our school year, so this break is very timely. Regardless of your plans, I hope that the Spring Break is just what you need at this point of the year. I look forward to welcoming our staff back on March 28th and our students on March 29th for the final stretch of the school year.

As we are now just a few more school days away from the start of Spring Break, I hope that our students, faculty, staff, and families have a strong week and a wonderful, restful Spring Break. During the course of a busy school year, breaks are important for all of our community members. Please take the time needed to rest, relax, and recharge for a strong finish to the 2021-2022 school year. During April and May, D’Evelyn students will be completing several different standardized tests. I am grateful to Assistant Principal Dan Wille for his hard work and thoughtfulness in organizing an excellent testing schedule that minimizes the loss of valuable instructional time during these vital last few weeks of the semester. While we maintain a steadfast focus on liberal arts education at D’Evelyn, we understand the significant role that these standardized tests play in our state’s public education system. We encourage all students to give their best effort on the upcoming tests. An overview of upcoming tests:
Additionally, D’Evelyn Class of 2022 members will complete their final exams on May 12th and May 13th - it is hard to believe that the last day of school for our seniors is only 38 more school days away! You can review our full testing calendar for April and May 2022 here. We ask all students & families to build familiarity with the assigned days for testing. Thank you for your ongoing and continued support of your child(ren) and D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School.

We have enjoyed a busy and fulfilling several weeks at D’Evelyn. I am proud of the hard work, dedication, and achievement of our students across their various interests - academics, athletics, and performing arts in particular. Please join me in recognizing and honoring our incredible students, teachers, and coaches / sponsors for their great work. At the time of this writing, the D’Evelyn girls basketball team is a few hours away from their Great 8 state tournament game with #1-seeded Windsor High School. We are proud of the incredible regular season and postseason success of our girls program. You can keep tabs on the CHSAA 4A girls state tournament here, and I am sure hopeful that we are celebrating an upcoming trip to the Final Four by late Friday night! Our boys basketball team saw their season end last Wednesday night on a buzzer-beater in an incredible game with Frederick High School. You can read more about the game here. The boys wrapped up an outstanding season that included the first Jeffco 4A league championship for the program since 2014. Congratulations on an outstanding season. Congratulations to the students and leaders involved in the D’Evelyn High School production of “Newsies” over the past two weeks. We had great participation in all facets of the production from our students, and they turned in a series of incredible performances over the five shows. I am very proud of this group and it was a thrill to see the show live and in-person this year! The week of March 7th is an important one for our vocal and instrumental musicians. We have four nights of concerts scheduled, and we hope to see a great turnout to support our student-musicians in these concerts. You can find concert days, times, and locations on our school calendar and on this nifty graphic of extracurricular events for next week. Congratulations to our Mock Trial team, who by way of a 2nd place finish in the Regional competition, have qualified the “A Team” for the Colorado state championships on March 18th and 19th. The official start of D’Evelyn spring sports kicked off on Monday, February 28th. Good luck to our 100s of spring student-athletes - we wish you the best as you start your season! Stay tuned for updates and please get out and support our students throughout the spring as you are able. Best wishes to our students on a great last two weeks of school prior to Spring Break. We have had a busy, productive, and fruitful semester to date - I know that the Spring Break will be a great opportunity to refresh and recharge for the end of the semester. Let’s work together to ensure we stay strong throughout the next two weeks prior to the break! Thank you for your continued and consistent support of your child(ren) and our great school!
