By: Josh Griffin, Principal I hope that you and your family have enjoyed the President Day weekend. February is typically a very busy and exciting month at D’Evelyn, and February 2022 is no exception. We wish our students the best of luck as they continue with academics, athletics, and performances in the upcoming weeks. With a variety of opportunities to support our student-athletes and performers, I am excited to see strong community support for our kids as they wrap up the winter season. Musical The D’Evelyn High School Theater Department presents its production of “Newsies” with five shows on four different days. Show dates & times are as follows: Friday, February 25th - 7:00 PM Saturday, February 26th - 12:30 PM & 7:00 PM Friday, March 4th - 7:00 PM Saturday, March 5th - 7:00 PM D’Evelyn students, families, and community members can buy tickets at school during lunch or purchase them online here. Girls & Boys Basketball The D’Evelyn girls & boys basketball teams wrapped up their regular season on Friday, February 18th against Littleton High School. Both programs have had outstanding seasons, and we look forward to their upcoming postseason opportunities. CHSAA should announce the high school basketball state tournament brackets on Sunday, February 20th, and we look forward to a great turnout of support for both programs as they advance into the playoffs. Spring Vocal & Instrumental Music Concerts During the week of March 7th, our junior and senior high school musicians will perform their annual spring concerts. Please join us to hear our amazing student performers show off their hard work and talent in these performances: Junior High Choir - Monday, March 7th, 7:00 PM High School Choir - Tuesday, March 8th, 7:00 PM Orchestra Concert - Wednesday, March 9th, 7:00 PM Band Concert - Thursday, March 10th, 7:00 PM Parent-Teacher Conferences We look forward to hosting students & families for the 2nd semester Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, February 23rd (3:00 - 6:00 PM). These conferences will be in-person and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. This is an important opportunity for students and families to connect with teachers to receive feedback. Please note that given the format of this event, individual conferences must be limited to up to five minutes in length. If further conversations are needed, teachers and families can schedule a follow-up meeting after conferences. District Start Time Decisions As you have seen in recent communication from Jeffco Schools, the district is considering a change to start and end times for the 2022-2023 school year. As you review those resources, please know that the plan for D’Evelyn would be to align with the proposed district-wide high school schedule. This means that school would start at 8:15 am and end at 3:30 pm. Because of our robust high school athletics and activities, it makes the most sense that D’Evelyn would align with the other Jeffco high schools. As a leadership team, we are in the process of forming a faculty committee to review and update our bell schedule for implementation should the transition of start/end times occur for the 2022-2023 school year. Student Non-Contact Days As outlined in the Jeffco Schools communication on the evening of Wednesday, February 16th, two school days this semester have been converted from school days to non-student contact days. Specifically, there will be no school for students on March 28th or April 22nd. While students do not have school on these two dates, teachers will have work days. Thank you for your ongoing support of your child(ren) and our school. I hope that we can all enjoy the many upcoming athletic and extracurricular events in support of our hard-working students.
