As we approach the final week of the 2019-2020 school year, please accept my heartfelt thank you to all students and families for your efforts to make this a successful year. As a community, we have faced extraordinary, unforeseen, and unprecedented challenges, and I am both proud of and grateful for the engagement, support, and commitment shown by D’Evelyn students and families. Congratulations to the D’Evelyn Class of 2020! You made it! As a school community, we are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. We hope that the D’Evelyn community will enjoy our Senior Tribute Video to the Class of 2020, as well as our digitized Senior Montages for the Class of 2020. We would certainly rather share these important rites of passage in person, but we hope that our students, families, faculty, and staff will enjoy these important tributes to the Class of 2020, a dedicated and resilient group of students. I wish all D’Evelyn students the very best of luck with the conclusion of the school year. I hope that your final projects, exams, and coursework go well. I appreciate your hard work and dedication throughout the course of this semester. After Thursday, May 21st, I hope that all D’Evelyn students and families will enjoy the time off for summer break. Certainly, the summer of 2020 will have a different look and feel from previous summers, but I hope that you all will find time for rest and relaxation. Whether you find pleasure in leisure reading, streaming shows & movies, or spending time (socially-distant) outdoors, summer is an important time to take a break from the regular routines of the academic year. Hopefully, over this summer, we will see additional relaxation of safety guidelines and protocols, and more of our customary activities will be available. I hope that you all have a great summer. There have been several media reports this past week regarding Jeffco Schools plan for restarting school in 2020-2021. Jeffco families will have a chance to review and provide feedback on this plan on/after May 22nd. Once the draft plan is available, we encourage all D’Evelyn families to take the opportunity to provide feedback on this important process for our schools and community. After compiling feedback from administrators, teachers, and families, the district will share a final plan for the 2020-2021 school year later this summer. The plan does outline the framework of a “hybrid” educational experience for students, where we safely blend in-person and remote learning for our students. The safety and wellbeing of all D’Evelyn community members is our highest priority; however, we also prioritize opportunities for face-to-face, in-person learning for all of our students. With all that in mind, we understand that for some families, the return of students to in-person learning may present specific challenges that cannot be surmounted. Please know that the D’Evelyn faculty, staff, and administration, in accordance with district guidance, are committed to providing a safe, productive educational experience in 2020-2021 for all of our students. The D’Evelyn administration will be working with our faculty, staff, and community to ensure that the restart of school in 2020-2021 will be safe and successful. Thank you for your continued support of our students and school. We have faced an array of challenges together as a community, and I am proud of how we have overcome those challenges to ensure that our students continue to have an opportunity to engage with our liberal arts curriculum. I hope that all members of the D’Evelyn community continue to be well and healthy! Comments are closed.
