Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope that you and your family enjoyed a restful, relaxing, and restorative Winter Break and a very happy holiday season. I am excited to be back with the students, faculty, and staff, embarking on the start of a successful 2nd semester to the 2019-2020 school year. I have a few important updates/reminders for families relevant to the beginning of the new calendar year. Enrollment for 2020-2021 school year - the deadline for the 1st Round Choice Enrollment process for all Jeffco Schools is January 15, 2020. You may access the district enrollment platform via enrolljeffco.org. The January 15th deadline is an important date for prospective families interested in D’Evelyn for their student(s) in 2020-2021, but also an important deadline for families considering any Jeffco school next year. Generally, the 1st round choice enrollment placement process is the most likely time that a student will be admitted to any school in the district. We encourage all families to be thoughtful in their school choice decisions for the 2020-2021 school year. Surveys - each year, the D’Evelyn Accountability Committee administers surveys to students, and every other year, D’Evelyn administers the district Make Your Voice Heard Survey. During the upcoming weeks, we will be asking D’Evelyn students and families to complete surveys about their experiences in our school. This year, the Accountability Committee has developed a parent survey as well. Here is an overview of upcoming surveys for students and families:
Wish Week & School Visit by NASA Astronaut Matthew Dominick (D’Evelyn Class of 2000) - During the week of January 21st, the D’Evelyn Student Council has organized an awesome Wish Week to coincide with our annual Winter Spirit Week. Wish Week is a fundraising program designed to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year, the D’Evelyn community contributed to raising over $10,000 to support a young girl’s dream to go to Disney World. This year, the Student Council has organized an array of events and fundraisers to support our efforts to meet the dreams of even more children afflicted with life-threatening illnesses. We appreciate the support of our students and families in this fundraising effort. Additionally, in conjunction with Wish Week and Spirit Week, we are thrilled to welcome D’Evelyn graduate and NASA Astronaut, Matthew Dominick back to D’Evelyn on Friday, January 24th. Mr. Dominick will attend the January 24th Pep Rally to present to our students, and in order to meet with a broader array of the D’Evelyn community, will host a community event in the evening. Please join us on Friday, January 24th, at 6 pm in the D’Evelyn Auditorium to hear more about Mr. Dominick’s experiences with NASA. There will also be a meet-and-greet opportunity at the conclusion of this event. We are so proud of Matthew and all of his accomplishments. It will be a great opportunity for our community to give him a warm welcome back to his junior and senior high school. Best wishes to you and your family on a great start to the second semester.
