We are excited to announce that the D’Evelyn music department will be expanding in 2023-2024. In March, Dr. Theis let the administration know that he would not be returning next school year, as he was moving to New Orleans. We are thankful for the work Dr. Theis put into our music program this year, and we wish him well on his future endeavors. After a thorough process, we have hired Matthew Morrissette to fill the Instrumental Music and Band Director position. Mr. Morrissette will be teaching all band classes and the Orchestra Level 2 class. Mr. Matthew Morrissette is entering his 7th year of teaching after graduating from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2017 with a Music Education Degree. Mr. Morrissette began his musical career in Jeffco in the Green Mountain Area where he played the saxophone (And continues to play today). He later went on to perform in the Green Mountain High School Marching Band, Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, and Pit Orchestra before graduating from Green Mountain in 2011. During his time at MSU Denver, Mr. Morrissette began teaching as a Woodwind Instructor for Green Mountain High from 2012-2016 as well as serving in the same position for Fairview High School in 2016. Mr. Morrissette student-taught with Tim Libby at Cherry Creek High School. In 2017 he was offered the Band Director Position at Green Mountain High School. During his time there he increased program enrollment from 70 to over 100 total students in two years, expanded the Jazz Program to two bands of 18, and expanded the Marching Band from under 40 to 65 prior to the pandemic. Finally, Mr. Morrissette obtained his Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University in October of 2022. Mr. Morrissette is thrilled to be starting the next chapter of his teaching career with the D’Evelyn students and staff this fall.
In the near future Mr. Morrissette will have a meeting for Marching Band members and families. If you have questions you can email him at matthew.morrissette@jeffcoschools.us.

As we get further into the spring season and warmer weather, we would like to remind parents and students about our dress code expectations. When families choose to send their students to D'Evelyn they are expected to follow the school policies. If every family makes sure that their child/ren is/are following the dress code guidelines below, it will help us maintain our high behavior expectations. Please take the time to review the dress code with your kids. The most common violations have been students wearing hats (hoods of their hoodies), shirts exposing the midriff, and shorts that don’t fully extend to cover the mid-thigh. We need your help in making sure that the dress code expectations are met. Thank you for having those hard conversations with your kids.

Prom Season Next week, April 17-21, D’Evelyn students will have their Prom Spirit Week, which culminates in the Prom on the evening of Saturday, April 22nd, and After Prom festivities in the late night / early morning hours of April 22nd and 23rd. This year, the Prom will be at Glenmoor Country Club, and we wish all D’Evelyn students attending a wonderful evening of fun with their friends. After Prom will be hosted at the Ridge Recreation Center, which will be transformed considerably to suit the needs and interests of D’Evelyn students. Both events are sure to be exceptional. Big thanks to all of the parents, students, faculty, and staff that will make Prom and After Prom so great this year. In this time from here on leading up to Prom and the end of the school year, I ask for your support and consideration in encouraging your students to make safe, appropriate choices. A primary function of our school is to ensure student safety and health. Too often, during the spring Prom season, we hear of those tragic accidents involving teenagers, changing the lives of so many forever. Here at D'Evelyn, we will remind students of all the safe options available to them and the good decisions they can make to ensure a safe and enjoyable Prom celebration. In addition, this time of the school year is also known for students to lose focus on academics with the distraction of the many events and activities leading to the end of the school year. For the senior class, this can be disastrous for some students. But for all students, this could be the difference between ending the school year in an unexpected and undesirable predicament, versus ending on a high note. Please help us by encouraging your student(s) to stay engaged and finish the school year with their best effort. I look forward to seeing many D’Evelyn students and families at the Prom and After Prom events as well as our other end-of-year celebrations and activities. This time annually serves as a highlight of the year, and the beginning of the very busy conclusion to the school year. Junior High Student Social Skills Monitoring During the final week of April, school staff will be conducting a short assessment of student competencies on social-emotional skills. For more information about this assessment, please read the Junior High Student Social Skills Monitoring segment that appears later in this issue of Jag Tracks. The letter provides a thorough explanation of the purpose and process for the assessment. Additionally, the instructions for parents who choose to “opt-out” your student(s) are also included in the letter.

Parents, we need a few more microwaves for the students to use in the cafeteria during lunch. Last year, some parents contributed microwaves. Unfortunately, two out of the four microwaves stopped working due to wear and tear. If you have a spare working microwave sitting around your house that you are willing to donate to the school, please bring it by the front office.

The D’Evelyn community is and has always been committed to ensuring high levels of learning for all. This includes not only being attentive to academic growth but also recognizing that the social and emotional growth of students is critically important. What we know and research confirms is that there exists a direct connection between student’s emotional well-being and their academic performance. We are dedicated to creating support linked directly to the assessed needs of our students and are excited about the opportunity to systematically screen the social and emotional skills of all our students. We will be using the Social Skills Improvement System™ Social-Emotional Learning Edition Screening/Progress Monitoring Scales (SSIS SEL) to screen 6th through 8th-grade students' social-emotional competencies. The SSIS-SEL Edition Screening/Progress Monitoring Scales is a strength-based tool for screening and progress monitoring social and emotional competence. Teachers are asked to score each student in their class in six areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making, and motivation to learn. Data collected from the screener and scoring information for individual students will remain at D’Evelyn and all information will be kept confidential. The information acquired through the screener will guide our development of school-wide, small-group, and/or individual interventions. You will be notified if your child is invited to join a small group or individual intervention. If you would like more information or if you have questions at any time, you are welcome to contact Suzanne Roberts, Social Emotional Learning Specialist at 303.982.2632 orsuzanne.roberts@jeffco.k12.co.us Should you prefer that your student not be screened at this time, please print Decision to Opt Out, complete it, and return it to the D’Evelyn Counseling Office. No action is required if you are comfortable with this screening and/or are not opting out at this time.

Congratulations to the Athlete of the Month winners for the month of March. These winners were chosen by their coaches based on their leadership qualities, work ethic, and other traits that represent what D'Evelyn wants to see in all of their Student-Athletes. They were chosen out of all the Student-Athletes at D'Evelyn. Gemma McIntyre - 11th Grade Gemma is a force multiplier of positivity. Her respect for teammates and coaches is unparalleled. She is a source of enthusiasm & a leader amongst her peers. She holds a 4.0 GPA and is equally excited about her accomplishments in the classroom and the field. - Coach Plyler, Head Girls Soccer Coach 
Spencer Sheldon - 12th Grade
As 1 of 12 events, diving is a crucial aspect of our swimming & diving team's success. Spencer Sheldon has been an integral part of the AquaJags for the past 4 years. He has established himself as a leader on the team and amongst his competitors. Within the first two meets, Spencer quickly qualified for 4A state, an accomplishment he has achieved every year of competition. As a sophomore and junior, he placed 6th & 5th at 4A State. He will be a key player for the AquaJags at League and State in his final year. Spencer's attention to detail and ability to take critiques and apply them effectively to his diving are the biggest contributors to his overall success. He is incredibly supportive of his teammates as well as makes every effort to get to know and cheer for his competitors at meets. Spencer embodies what we want all AquaJags to strive to be: a fierce competitor with exemplary sportsmanship and work ethic.

One notable component of our school function in April will be frequent standardized testing. This is the month that we complete our CMAS and SAT/PSAT testing. You will soon receive grade-level-specific Messenger communication later this week about our unique schedule and plans for testing. I would like to recognize D'Evelyn Assistant Principal Dan Wille for his efforts to design an efficient testing schedule that minimizes the negative impact on instructional time in a manner that will best support our students. Additionally, the implementation of the schedule could not happen without the assistance of Greg Kottcamp, Jon Watson, and Joel Jacobsen who are overseeing the actual testing in Mr. Wille's absence. We are grateful for the level of support offered by D'Evelyn community members when standardized testing occurs. While we make no adjustments to our curriculum or instructional plan to sway with changing expectations in state-mandated tests, we do believe that the liberal arts education offered to our students supports their ability to be successful on these upcoming tests. We ask for your partnership in encouraging your child to submit their best efforts during our testing season to demonstrate their learning and academic growth over the course of this school year. The test that students are taking is dependent upon grade level:
Some Reminders Please have students leave their cell phones, smart watches, or anything that can send or receive a transmission at home, in their car, or in their locker. If a cell phone rings during the testing, the student's exam will be collected and they will not be able to complete the test. Additionally, other students' test scores may be invalidated so it is important to not bring cell phones to the testing area. Juniors taking the SAT without the writing section will be free to quietly exit the building and go home after the testing session is complete. We appreciate your support and flexibility for these required state assessments. Please join us in extending best wishes to your student(s) for a successful testing season. We look forward to seeing the results of the great work by D'Evelyn students. The calendar dates for each of the tests for each grade level are below. 
Again, thank you for all your support, and look for a more detailed communication later this week with specific start and dismissal times and other information specific to your student's grade level assessments.
If you have questions or need any clarification on the logistics, please feel free to contact the D'Evelyn Main Office at 303-982-2600.

Congratulations to the Scholar of the Month winners for the month of March. They were chosen by the World Language Department. Jonathan Baker - 8th grade Jonathan Baker is an amazing young man. The first hour is not easy on anyone but Jonathan is always ready to do what it takes to learn and be successful. He always comes with his book, notebook, and pen, and even with a smile. Even when it's hard Jonathan is not afraid to participate. He is an example to our class and I'm proud of him. -Mr. Sabre, French Teacher 
Emery Nguyen - 8th grade
Emery is a fantastic student. She loves to think, and she's always happy to share what she's thinking, whether with the whole class or with teammates in collaborative work. She has very high expectations of herself and asks excellent questions that make clear her deep and nuanced understanding of tough concepts. Emery's drive to succeed and excel is impressive. Perhaps more importantly, it never gets in the way of her ability to enjoy herself and to be a good classmate and friend. She comes to class each day with a smile and an open mind, ready to tackle with enthusiasm whatever is thrown at her. -Ms. Bowman, Latin Teacher 
Yanjin Lin - 9th grade
Yanjin's dedication to academic excellence is truly remarkable. I've never had a student show more commitment toward accuracy in learning the Spanish language than Yanjin does. She reaches out to me regularly to ask for clarification on homework and written assessments outside of school, and this level of effort amazes me. She is a kind and respectful person, and I can count on her to be on-task and engaged during class. I'm grateful for her hard work and determination to succeed. -Ms. Mozingo, Spanish Teacher 
Carson Stephens - 9th grade
Carson Stephens is a fantastic Spanish 2 student who always gives his best. His calm and steady nature helps him excel and tackle difficult concepts in grammar. I thoroughly enjoy having him in class and appreciate his respectful and hardworking demeanor. Keep up the good work! -Mrs. Bender, Spanish Teacher

These winners were chosen by their teachers based on their actions and behaviors in class, the lunchroom, and the hallways. Jett Cowee - 11th grade Jett has such a positive attitude and is a great contributor in US History class. He always responds kindly to his peers and staff members. Jett also works hard outside of school, working in the winter and running track and cross country almost year around. He has a very busy schedule but manages to stay focused and committed to his studies. He is truly one of the kindest students I have ever had in class. -Mrs. Newell, Social Studies Teacher 
Myla Seda & Aubrey Hummel-Giddens - 7th Grade
Myla and Aubrey both helped a student in need a few weeks ago. They were efficient, calm, and did exactly what they should do in an emergency situation. They also continued on with their day, truly exuding what a good citizen looks like caring and responsible. Way to go, ladies! -Mrs. McCaslin-Hahn, Math Teacher
