By: Dr. Rob Bishop, Principal I am happy to say that by many measures, the school year is off to a great start at D'Evelyn. Students and teachers alike have settled into their academic routines and are deeply engaged in meaningful teaching and learning. Additionally, students, coaches, and club sponsors are well underway with the fall sports and activities. Keep your eyes and ears open for timely updates on our extracurricular events and activities from Mr. McCaslin-Hahn, our Athletic/Activities Director. I am grateful for the efforts of all D'Evelyn community members towards a successful start to the school year. Especially to the members of the D'Evelyn Education Foundation and all the volunteers that helped with the 22nd annual D'Evelyn Dash. This year's Dash was fantastic and fun for all who participated. With the Labor Day weekend ahead, I want to remind us that the time in school between this traditional close of summer and Thanksgiving can be challenging. As I mentioned at Back to School Night, the intensity and homework expectations will increase, with more tests and assignments, and fewer extended weekends or breaks for our students and teachers. I know these coming weeks will challenge our students; however, I am confident that a good start to the school year and continued meaningful academic engagement will serve our students well over time. Long weekends are a great time for students and families to have an extended break from the typical routines of the school week, but they also present a great opportunity for travel. For our senior high school students, extended weekends are a great opportunity to visit colleges and universities. I hope that the additional days off school will serve the needs of our students, families, and teachers very well. Have a great Labor Day weekend and I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday. Student drivers are now able to pick up a parking permit. See Campus Supervisor Bob Byerly in the main office either before or after school or during lunch break. Before picking up, students must fill out the online or paper parking application, pay for the permit (see Mr. Sheikhan in the financial office), and bring a copy of their driver's license and proof of insurance.

First Week of School The first week of school was marked by many successes and some great news to share with the community. Orientation day went very well with almost 200 new 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade students attending and becoming familiar with the D’Evelyn way and meeting teachers, and making new friends. The first day of school went off without a hitch and the best thing about this day was the opening of our new 6th-grade wing. As a result of the efforts of the Jeffco Construction Department and the general contractor (HCI) all inspections and final details for occupancy were cleared. I especially commend the teachers in the new wing (Mr. Davis, Ms. Civian, Ms. Ericson, Ms. Goldsborough, Ms. Bowman, Mr. Anneberg, and Mr. Porreco) for their commitment to working a long day on Friday and throughout the weekend setting up classrooms and being ready for their students on the first day of school. The week was full of excitement and energy as students became more familiar with their schedules, meeting teachers, and settling into the routine of school. A good start for both students and faculty is critical to our success and I urge us to capitalize on this momentum and transfer it to the important at home and outside of school study routines that students develop in the coming weeks. I am certain the learning pace and homework will increase in the coming weeks, and a good start and at home study routine will be a valuable asset to student success. In addition to celebrating a great start, the Colorado Department of Education released Spring 2022 assessment data including SAT results for all schools participating in the state assessment program. I am pleased to announce, once again, that D’Evelyn is the highest performing school for all participating schools and for all public schools in the state of Colorado for the SAT. Over the next several weeks, I will be conducting assessment performance briefings with our stakeholders and will provide a more comprehensive presentation of this information. Back to School Night Back to School Night is an important opportunity for parents and guardians of D’Evelyn students to meet teachers, learn more about the curriculum, and understand specific expectations for individual classes. We encourage attendance at this important start-of-year event. Due to classroom size and seating, Back to School Night is limited to the attendance of parents and guardians . Additionally, be sure to have a copy or access to your student’s class schedule, which you can access through Infinite Campus. Back to School Night is Thursday, August 25th, and begins at 6:00 PM with an address from the Principal in the Main Gymnasium. After the Principal’s Address at 6:00 pm, we will dismiss parents to follow their student’s class schedule on an abbreviated rotation. Parents will have a chance to visit each class in our 6-period bell schedule and learn more about the class from the teacher. The bell schedule runs from 6:30 - 8 pm. During this time with teachers, many topics will be presented, including but not limited to:
This is also a good time to make a quick personal introduction to your student’s teachers. New Parent and Guardian Meet and Greet In addition to the above Back to School Night program, the D’Evelyn Administration will host a parent meeting for families new to D’Evelyn (grades 6 - 9) also on August 25th in the Auditorium at 5:30 pm. We will have a brief presentation for new parents, as well as opportunities for parents to ask questions and learn more about the D’Evelyn experience now that we have completed the first week of school. Parents new to D’Evelyn are encouraged to attend this meeting to continue learning more about D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. Thank you for your continued support of D’Evelyn. We look forward to welcoming our parents/guardians for Back to School Night on August 25th.
Parents, your students will not be allowed entry into the school until 6:30 am. Please do not drop your students off before 6:30 am. Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome Back! As we look ahead to the first day of school on August 16th, I am excited and incredibly optimistic about launching this school in a typical fashion and without numerous COVID pandemic guidelines and practices. Last Tuesday, August 9th, we hosted Student Registration and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that more than half of the student body (600+) took advantage of this opportunity to pick up materials, work out schedule issues, find lockers, and much more. I saw many students and parents making new connections and reconnecting with D’Evelyn students and school personnel. Additionally, the D’Evelyn faculty and staff returned on Wednesday and dove right into the usual preparations for the school year. The events of the past week are part of the many rites, rituals, and sacraments that we experience each school year. In my future messages, I will likely refer to the rites, rituals, and sacraments at D’Evelyn. These are the events, routines, and milestones that embed purpose and meaning into all that is D’Evelyn. Of course, the first day of school is one of our more important rituals of the school year. Over the next few days, each teacher will go through their set of rituals in the classroom. Students will set up lockers in those traditional places reserved by grade level, many seniors have painted their parking spots, and much more. These are the rituals to the start of the school year. Our teachers and staff have been hard at work planning for the return of students on August 16. As we prepare for the year, I encourage students and families to review teacher websites and syllabi and to begin thoughtful preparations for school year routines as we start the new year. The D’Evelyn Education Foundation and the 2021 D’Evelyn DASH Speaking of rites, rituals, and sacraments, we are thrilled to host the 22nd annual D’Evelyn DASH on August 27th. The annual D’Evelyn DASH is our way to kick off the new school year for D’Evelyn students, faculty, staff, and families. A change this year is the separation of the high school Cross Country team race from the community 2K/5K event. The high school race featuring nearly 40 area schools will happen on Friday, August 26. In addition to the community 2K/5K races, dozens of booths organized by our student clubs, sports teams, sponsors, and organizations will be featured. We encourage all D’Evelyn families to participate in this year’s D’Evelyn DASH - it will be a great time! Registration information can be found here. I am grateful to the volunteers that have worked diligently to organize this great event for our school. The DASH is one of several major annual events organized by the D’Evelyn Education Foundation, an organization responsible for $100,000 - $150,000 per year of funding to support D’Evelyn students, faculty, and staff. Thank you for your participation and support of the 2021 D’Evelyn DASH. I look forward to seeing a great turnout of students, families, and staff at this fantastic event!

As the 2022-23 school year begins, you will see me directing traffic at the intersection of W Nassau Ave and S Kippling St as school releases at the end of the day. The purpose of this effort is to alleviate the congestion and backup of traffic on Nassau from the school and, more importantly, educate drivers on the proper and legal way to accomplish the right turn onto S. Kipling St. After observing traffic at the intersection in previous years, I have determined that the primary cause of the congestion problem at the intersection is drivers making illegal right-hand turns to get onto S. Kipling St. What many people are doing is sitting at the stop sign and waiting for a break in southbound Kipling traffic so they can then shoot across all traffic lanes in order to get into the far left lane to make a U-turn at Quincy to go northbound on Kipling. This is illegal as well as very frustrating for other drivers who are stuck in line waiting to make that right turn correctly to proceed southbound on Kipling. My goal is to correct the situation through education and then enforcement (if necessary). It is my sincere hope that the education part of the equation will correct the problem. If not, I will be conducting enforcement activities and issuing citations to violators. The two traffic violations that I am observing are people making an improper right-hand turn and obstruction of traffic flow. Per the Colorado Traffic Code, a right-hand turn must be made as close to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway as practicable. There is a merge lane provided for this specific purpose. This lane is intended to allow you to accelerate and then merge safely into traffic going south on Kipling. The other violation is obstructing traffic. If a driver loiters at the stop sign for the purpose of waiting for a break in southbound traffic to make the turn illegally, that falls under obstruction of traffic flow. These violations carry a 3-point penalty assessment each and total fines of up to $160 if cited. Below, I have provided a diagram to illustrate the proper way to negotiate the right turn from Nassau onto Kipling. It also illustrates what constitutes a violation. If you have any questions, you can reach me by calling the school.

When do students eat lunch? D’Evelyn currently has three lunches. For students in grades 7-12, the first lunch period is from 10:25-10:55 and the second lunch is from 11:20-11:50. A student has first or second lunch depending on what level of the building their 4th period class is located. For example, a student that has a math class during 4th period would have 1st-period lunch because the math classrooms are on the first floor. If a student has a social studies class in 4th period, they would be assigned the second lunch period, because all social studies classes are on the second floor. In order to keep some departments from always having the early lunch, we rotate which floor has which lunch. This year is the easy one to remember as the first floor eats during the first lunch and the second floor eats during the second lunch. 6th Graders have the third lunch, which is from 12:15-12:45. Taking care of business before lunch: Some students go to their lockers before lunch to get either their lunch or books for the next class period. Other students go straight to the cafeteria to get a spot near the front of the lunch line. We encourage students to take care of their business before lunch because we don’t allow students to roam the hallways during lunch, as other classes are still in session. Students that need to go to counseling, the main office, or the library, should do so at the start of lunch. Where do students eat? Students can eat in the cafeteria, senior lounge area, courtyard tables, or in the Library Commons. The Library Commons is for students that want a silent place to eat and work on homework, not for socializing. What do students bringing a lunch from home need to know? Students who bring their own lunch either store their lunch in their backpack or locker. Thanks to the D’Evelyn Education Foundation, students have three microwaves available for use. Many students bring sandwiches and a variety of snacks. Some bring leftovers or frozen meals that can be heated in the microwave. All we ask is that students use the microwaves responsibly, clean up any spills and treat other people’s food respectfully. How do students/parents pay for meals at school? Families that want to have students buy food at school can either set up their Schoolcafe account or drop off cash or a check with Mr. Labenberg in the cafeteria. Parents can navigate to the Schoolcafe website through the Family Portal. If families are making payments with cash or check, please be sure to drop off the payment in the cafeteria before the school day starts. When students try to add money to their account during lunch, it significantly slows down the lunch service for all the other students. Parents and students should work together to keep track of account balances. If families are using Schoolcafe, they can check the balance online and add money when needed. If families prefer to use cash or checks to make deposits to their student’s lunch account, the student will need to ask the cafeteria cashiers to check their balances. It is best to have students ask about account balances before their order has been rung up. Cashiers do not tell students their balances unless they are asked by the students. If students come to the register and don’t have enough funds in their accounts, they can either return some of the food to stay within their balance, or they can charge a reimbursable meal to their account. A full reimbursable meal includes an entree, fruits, vegetables, and milk, and costs $3.50. The district system does not allow students to go negative in their accounts for a-la-carte items. When students charge a meal and go negative with their account balance, a message is sent home to parents to let them know. How do the lunch lines work? When students come to the cafeteria they can get into 1 of 2 lines. We ask that only 4 students at-a-time be in the serving area. Students that are not purchasing lunch items, should not wait in line with their friends, as this creates congestion. Menus and costs are posted outside of each lunch line. When a student enters the serving area, they can select the items they want, or ask a cafeteria worker to retrieve an item. As they approach the cashier they are expected to enter their Student ID into a keypad so as to bring up their account on the Cashier’s screen. Students can ask for their account balance at this time. The cashier will then ring-up the order, ask the student if they need anything else, and then tell them the total bill. Students are then free to find an area to eat. What happens during lunch and at the end of lunch? Most students find a few friends to eat lunch with. As for what they do in addition to eating, that can vary. We have kids that work on homework, read books, play outside, and catch up with one another through conversation. We also have students that are on their phones during lunch, playing games, watching videos, or texting one another (not making phone calls). We expect them to use technology in accordance with Jeffco’s policy. We have a school administrator and campus supervisor that help to supervise lunch times. Students are encouraged to talk to a lunch supervisor if they have any problems or questions. Students are expected to stay in the cafeteria or other eating areas until the bell rings. We want students to enjoy the full lunch period and not be waiting to run to their lockers. Lunch Duty D’Evelyn is a program dedicated to encouraging civic duty and responsibility to better our community. For many years our school had students in younger grade levels participate in lunch duty which includes helping clean the lunch room in between lunches. In an effort to encourage students to give back to the D’Evelyn community and promote individual responsibility for taking care of our school, we will be re-instituting lunch duty beginning this week. Students in grades 6-8 will participate in lunch duty a couple of times per semester, and possibly more depending on class sizes. Students will receive notification of lunch duty on Monday morning with instructions to stay a few minutes after lunch to help wipe down tables and throw any remaining trash away. The time requirement each day for lunch duty will be approximately 5 minutes, and if a student is tardy to class as a result of lunch duty, their tardy will be excused. However, we do not anticipate students being late to class as long as they report to lunch duty on time. Other lunch information:

Logan Long, a D'Evelyn 7th grader, enjoyed an incredible summer swim season with the Wheat Ridge Piranhas! In his first swim meet of the season, he qualified for the league meet (a regional swim meet). And by the end of the summer, he qualified to compete at the state level in three strokes: 50-meter backstroke, 50-meter butterfly, and 100-meter freestyle. Logan performed well throughout the season and looks forward to continuing his swim career year round as well as other fall sports like tennis and basketball.

Construction Project Updates and Logistics On the eve of Student Registration, I thought I would provide the D’Evelyn Community with a brief update on the construction project. For our newest students and families, you will notice an array of large storage containers in the east parking lot and a very unfinished exterior landscape enveloping the north side of the campus. This is all the result of a 13,000 square foot expansion of our school to accommodate the addition of the 6th grade to the D’Evelyn family. The project began in August of 2021 and was scheduled to be completed in the late spring of 2022. For our returning students and families you may wonder what progress has been made over the summer as you arrive at our campus this week and see much of the same as when school ended in May. There certainly has been progress on the interior, but unfortunately, the project is not expected to be completed until the end of August. I believe everyone has experienced issues and inconveniences as a result of the pandemic causing manufacturing stoppages, supply shortages, and labor shortages. These issues certainly have had an impact on the many trades that are critical to a construction project of this magnitude. The last major piece of critical infrastructure finally arrived last week and is being installed with a completion date of August 19. Of course, this will have an impact on our first few weeks of school and primarily for our 6th grade students and teachers. We will not be able to occupy and use the new 6th grade classrooms, the new weight room, and the art room until the second week of August. However, my admin team and construction department are committed to starting school for all students in all grades on the first day of school, August 16. We are working on various contingency plans to temporarily relocate 6th grade classrooms to other building rooms; a clear plan will be in place early next week. We will communicate this to 6th grade students at the Student and Parent Orientation on August 15. Our timeline to be able to use the new spaces is August 22 and this is all contingent upon a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the State Building Inspector's Office. As this continues to develop, the D’Evelyn community will be updated on any further delays and impacts on our usual daily operations and school routines. My optimistic hope is that we will be in our new space on August 22. However, we will also be prepared if the occupancy date is pushed further out. Please bear with us, our General Contractor (Himmelman Construction Inc.) and the Jeffco Construction Department have been monitoring this closely and will continue to do so daily. The Jag Tracks publication will be our preferred communication tool and more timely and immediate updates will be communicated through School Messenger and our website. I remind parents to be sure all your information is current (phone contacts, email, etc.) so that you are sure to receive all school communications on this topic and throughout the school year. Finally, be sure to read the remainder of this issue of Jag Tracks and future issues, as there are many updates with regard to reminders and refreshers on our usual school routines such as student drop-off and pick up, access, and entry to the school, and much more.

Traffic is higher in our parking lots during drop-off and pick-up times as a result of numerous factors including the increase in our school’s student body with the continued growth of the 6th grade, and construction. In an effort to streamline the drop-off and pick-up process, please review the below information and be thoughtful about how you can help ensure safe, efficient, and respectful drop-off and pick-up experiences for our students.

Every year students eagerly attend registration to not only get their school ID, but also to find their new locker and test out the combination. Many students don’t know how they can find their locker number or combination. The week before school starts students can find their locker and combination through the Infinite Campus Student Portal App by navigating to the “documents” tab and then selecting “Student Schedule”. 6th Graders will be assigned their locker, later this week. Each year students are assigned new lockers, depending on grade level and how many students are in each grade. This year’s general layout is:
It is important to have good locker etiquette to help facilitate students getting to class on time. One way to do this is to get to know the students in the lockers around you. This way you can politely ask for space to get in or out of the locker area. Please be careful when opening and closing lockers. If students have locker issues during the school year, they can stop by the main office to get a “Locker Complaint Form”, which allows students to explain the locker problem. Those forms should be turned in to me or our Campus Supervisor. The custodial staff will then work to address the problem. At the end of the school year, students are given time to clean out their lockers. Lockers are then checked by the custodial staff and serviced during the summer. More often than we would like, the school has to replace locks on lockers because paper jams have damaged the locks. Students use paper jams to jam the lock in an unlocked position to save time between class periods. This is a safety concern as anyone can open their unlocked locker and take materials from those lockers. Please encourage your students to not use paper jams for safety reasons, and to avoid a lock replacement fee.

We are gearing up for the 2022-2023 school year and that means Registration Day is just around the corner. We encourage all available students/families to come to Registration Day on Tuesday, August 9 anytime between 8:00-11:00 am or 1:00-3:00 pm. This is a great chance for students and families to reconnect with the school, review schedules, get a student ID/School Photo, access lockers, pay fees, pick up English novels, buy some D’Evelyn gear from the school store, and learn about some of our extra-curricular activities. If you can’t attend Registration Day in person, you can pay your fees online and access your schedule and locker information through Infinite Campus. All Students: We will have schedule and locker information available for families to view in Infinite Campus on Saturday, August 6th. We encourage you to attend registration with a digital or hard copy of your schedule, as we will not have printed copies available. Most individuals access their schedules on their phones through the Infinite Campus App. Returning Jeffco Students/Families: Existing families should go to the Infinite Campus Portal to update their account and verify household information (phone numbers and email addresses are crucial, remove old phone numbers and emails that you don’t use), student information, emergency contact information, and sign their agreements through the annual update process. Updates, including parent opt-out information, can only be made during the August 1 - September 12th window. For a step-by-step guide see the Family Update Guide. New Jeffco Students/Families: If your student is new to Jeffco and you haven’t been able to upload the following documents to OLR (online registration), please email the documents to our registrar at [email protected]:
School fees will now be posted and paid using the Infinite Campus Portal. School fees, schedules, and locker information will be available in the Campus Portal on Saturday, August 6. We encourage paying your fees online ahead of registration day. If you bring in the receipt showing school fees paid, you can skip the student fee line at the financial secretaries office and expedite your process for picking up the student planner and English Novels. Remember fees marked "Opt", are optional fees. If you have questions or want to pay your fees in person, you can visit the financial secretary’s office during registration hours.
As the district recently communicated, the federal school meal waivers will no longer be available for the 2022-23 school year. This means a return to paid meals beginning August 16 for students who do not qualify for Free or Reduced Meals benefits. Students can either pay with cash or use the Schoolcafe app to set up an account or add money to your child(ren)'s lunch account. If applicable, complete the Free and Reduced lunch program application. This application can also be used to apply for waivers for school fees if the appropriate selections are made on the form.
The below registration stations will be set up throughout the school. You only need to attend the stations pertinent to your child’s needs.
Health Clinic (Location: Main Office): In preparation for registration, please bring the appropriate paperwork along with any medication(s) your student will need at school this year. We do not have any medication in the health room except for what you provide. This includes Advil, Tylenol, cough drops, etc. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
Registrar (Location: Counseling Office): This station is for families needing help with Campus Portal Access, Completing the Free & Reduced Application process, or New to Jeffco Families that need additional help. Schedule Questions and/or Concerns (Location: Gym): Students/families can meet with their counselors to discuss schedule concerns. Schedule changes are only allowed for: wrong level placement, missing course requirements, and missing classes. We do not make schedule changes for teacher or lunch preferences. School Fees (Location: Line Starts at the front door by DJ the Jaguar - be patient!) Payment may be made with credit card, check, or cash. This is usually the longest line, so families may find value in paying fees online beforehand. If families have already paid fees online (bring a copy of the receipt), they can skip this station and proceed to the gym to pick up their academic planner and English novels. Academic Planner and English Novel Distribution (Location: Gym): Once students have paid their fees they can go to the gym to pick up their student planner and English Novels. Remember that if you paid school fees online - you need to bring in a copy of your receipt to show the staff. Student IDs/Photos (Location: Auditorium): Students will be able to get their photo taken for their school ID and the Yearbook. We will have an additional ID/Photo day on Friday, August 26 for students that can’t make it to registration day. Parking Passes (Will be distributed during the first week of school): In addition to paying the school parking pass fee, families must complete the 22-23 D’Evelyn Parking Application, and submit a copy of their driver’s license and current proof of Insurance to the Campus Supervisor. Clubs, Activities, Tours, and More (Location: Gym): The last stations in the gym will be for families to learn about some of our sports, clubs, activities, and organizations. We will have representatives from these groups available to give an overview of the programs and answer any questions. We encourage families to get involved in these extracurricular activities to help them make connections and feel part of the larger school community. We will also have students available for tours and to help new students locate and practice their locker combinations. TechForEd 1:1 Devices (Location: Library): For the 2022-2023 school year, all students will be part of the TechforEd 1:1 program. All 9th graders will receive new TechForEd devices while 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders will continue using the TechForEd devices they received in 5th or 9th grade. Students who are new to the district or attended a district charter school will receive a device comparable to their grade level peers. School Store: We plan on having the school store open so that families can purchase some D’Evelyn clothing and gear. We look forward to seeing you at Registration on Tuesday, August 9th.
