By Josh Griffin, Principal Thank you to all students, parents, families, and faculty members for your participation in our Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences. It was great to see such a strong turnout and the resulting engaging conversations between D’Evelyn families and teachers. I am grateful for the shared commitment to academic growth and excellence in our school community. Additionally, I am looking forward to an exciting 2019 D’Evelyn Homecoming Week beginning Monday, September 30th. Thank you to the D’Evelyn Student Council, Student Council co-sponsors, Jon Watson and Valerie Battaglia, and AP Dan Wille for your efforts in organizing what assuredly will be a great week for students, teachers, staff, families, and alumni. We have an array of events and themed dress days scheduled throughout the week of September 30th, culminating in the Homecoming Game on Friday, October 4th, and the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, October 5th. Additional information regarding the details of Homecoming Week follows in this week’s edition of the Jaguar Tracks. Please accept my sincere best wishes to all D’Evelyn community members on an excellent, fun, and safe Homecoming Week. Finally, I have some important new information to share with the D’Evelyn community regarding the enrollment process for the 2020-2021 school year. I share this broadly within our community to ensure all families are informed, but also to ask for your assistance. Please share the following information regarding enrollment, and the important dates associated with enrollment, with friends, family, and community members that may have interest in D’Evelyn for their student(s) in 2020-2021. Two weeks ago, I published this article regarding the addition of the new D’Evelyn 6th grade program for the 2020-2021 school year. It provides an overview of our plans for the new 6th grade program. An essential component of the continued success of D’Evelyn is our enrollment process. School choice is an important responsibility for all families. D’Evelyn offers a unique educational model for its students in grades 7-12 and will add a philosophically aligned 6th grade program designed to support students with continued success in the already established 7-12 program next year. It is important for families of interested and current students to ensure that they understand and support the D’Evelyn philosophy prior to enrollment. We ask that all families read and remain familiar with the D’Evelyn Founding Document. Our Prospective Student Information Nights are an excellent venue for families to learn more about the D’Evelyn philosophy, the operating principles and values of the school, and the day-to-day operations that allow our school philosophy to live for students, teachers, and families. All families with students interested in attending D’Evelyn should attend one of our Information Nights (December 12, December 19, January 7 for those interested in HS, and January 9). Each of these sessions begins at 7 pm in the D’Evelyn Auditorium. We are excited to announce the 1st Annual D’Evelyn Open House for interested students/families, which will occur on Saturday, November 9th, from 9 am - noon. Families that attend this event will be able to:
The purpose of the Open House is different from the purpose of a Prospective Student Information Night. While the Information Nights provide a comprehensive overview of the school philosophy, academic program, extracurricular offerings, and operational procedures, the Open House will include brief presentations about the school, in a much more interactive manner. We encourage students interested in attending D’Evelyn, along with their parents and families, to join us for this exciting event. It is my sincere hope that the combination of Prospective Student Information Nights and the D’Evelyn Open House will provide interested students and families a clear understanding of the D’Evelyn program, and the amazing impact the liberal arts curriculum, structured learning environment, and dedicated faculty and staff have on the lives of our students. The D’Evelyn liberal arts program is challenging but has a rich track record of success in producing young adults prepared for life. I request the assistance of our D’Evelyn community. Please share this important information about D’Evelyn Prospective Student Information Nights and the Open House with your friends, neighbors, families, and fellow community members. We are excited to share our outstanding program with interested families. Thank you for your continued support and shared investment in the success of your student(s) and our great school.
