By: Josh Griffin, Principal After 5-½ weeks on leave with my family, it was a great pleasure to return to D’Evelyn this week. Since Madison was born, we have been overwhelmed by the support, care and consideration of D’Evelyn faculty, staff, administration, students, and families – thank you for your kind words, support, thoughtful gifts, and encouragement! I am fortunate to lead such an outstanding school community. Madison just turned six weeks old, and she has been remarkably healthy since she was born. She continues to be a great blessing in our lives. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the D’Evelyn faculty, staff, and administration during my absence. I am particularly grateful to Mr. Schmeckpeper and our administration for their efforts to maintain strong school operations in my absence. Further, D’Evelyn students and families continued consistent engagement and support of the school. Photo Credit: LiLo Photography
I returned to D’Evelyn in the midst of a busy and exciting time in our school year. In the next six-plus weeks, our students have many opportunities to shine in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and community service. Thank you for taking the time to review the important, timely updates for our school community: Enrollment for the 2022-2023 School Year It is hard to believe that we are already quickly approaching our period of open enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year. At D’Evelyn, along with all other Jeffco Schools, we rely upon the Enroll Jeffco platform to manage our enrollment process. I encourage all families in Jeffco to review and consider the information available at Enroll Jeffco. The open enrollment period is crucial to D’Evelyn as an option school in Jefferson County. 100% of D’Evelyn students are admitted to the school via the lottery system in Enroll Jeffco. Each year, we enroll students in 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. We always appreciate current D’Evelyn families sharing information regarding our enrollment processes and timelines with friends, family, and fellow community members. School choice is a crucial decision for students and families. As a liberal arts school with a unique curriculum and educational philosophy, D’Evelyn is not the best fit for all students. However, I have great confidence in the strength of our program and the great impact it has in the lives of our students. Please join me in encouraging interested families to participate in our upcoming Open House and Prospective Student Information Nights. The Open House for interested students and families will occur on Tuesday, November 30th from 5 - 8 PM. The last tour will begin at 7 PM. This will be a great opportunity for interested students and families to meet D’Evelyn students, teachers, staff, coaches, and club sponsors, and in the process, learn more about our great school. Additionally, we offer four Prospective Student Information Nights. All new families are required to attend one Information Night prior to enrolling their student at D’Evelyn. This year, we will host Information Nights on the following dates (all sessions start at 7:00 PM in the D’Evelyn Auditorium): · December 14 · December 16 · January 6 · January 13 Thank you for sharing information about our school with interested families. Please note that younger siblings of current D’Evelyn students must still apply for admission to D’Evelyn via EnrollJeffco. The Annual D’Evelyn Dinner Auction The D’Evelyn Education Foundation is thrilled to host the 2021 D’Evelyn Dinner Auction, “A Starry Night”, on Friday, December 3rd at Baldoria on the Water.
