OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
By: Dan Wille, Assistant Principal
D’Evelyn values the importance of a safe learning environment where all students are held to rigorous academic and behavior standards to ensure that all students succeed in our program. With this, we strive to effectively communicate the expectations all our students are held to both in the classroom and as representatives of our proud community. For this reason, students were presented with the Code of Conduct (12 min:44 sec video) at the beginning of the semester. Part of this presentation included having students complete a digital version of the Academic, Behavioral, and Locker contracts. We believe by adhering to the expectations outlined in these contracts we can create the optimal environment conducive to child development. We request that you spend some time with your children discussing the importance of appropriate behavior at school and academic honesty. Also part of this presentation was the review of Standard Response Protocols in the event of an emergency. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s administrator. Students and families are expected to be familiar with the Jeffco Schools Code of Conduct. Thank You to the Community! The administration would like to extend sincere thanks for the support received thus far from community members reporting concerning behavior. Thanks to several tips provided by students and parents/guardians we have been better able to uphold our high behavioral expectations. We appreciate all the help from those who report concerns about what might be happening within our community. If you have a concern or information about inappropriate actions taking place in our community, please contact a member of the D’Evelyn administration, counseling team, or security personnel, or make an anonymous report using Safe2Tell Colorado.

College Affordability Toolkit The College Affordability Toolkit has resources about financial aid, FAFSA loans, and scholarships. Counseling Needs Assessment Counselors will be going into classrooms early next week to administer the annual needs assessment. This will help give the counselors some insight as to how students are feeling and doing academically, personally/socially, and if they need support regarding life after high school. Counselors take this survey very seriously and follow up with students individually based on how students respond to the survey. The survey should only take 30 minutes or less to complete. General Mentoring We are excited to share that D’Evelyn is adding a third mentoring group this year! Our general mentoring program will have its first meeting in October. We will meet once a month in Ms. Young’s room, providing a space for everyone! More information, including dates of scheduled meetings, can be found on both our Mentee Enrollment Form and our Mentor Enrollment Form. While our deadline for enrollment was originally the 2nd of September, enrollment will continue through the 9th of September to ensure students have time to consider enrollment. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Roberts in the counseling office. She can be reached at [email protected] or 303.982.2632. Job Opportunities

Congratulations to the Heart of D’Evelyn winners for the month of September. The Heart of D’Evelyn Award is intended to recognize students who exemplify the core values that we find in D’Evelyn’s Founding Document. These core values are Responsibility, Honesty, Self-Control, Kindness, and Fairness. These winners were chosen by their teachers based on their actions and behaviors in class, the lunchroom, and the hallways.
Reagen Harbeck: 11th Grade
“Reagen is a great leader. She is willing to jump in at any point. She has been wonderful in yearbook helping to train students how to use the camera, giving feedback on their templates, and without being reminded, she's taken photos at many events. She is a great example of what it means to have school spirit, as well. She took the time to make shirts for the Juniors playing Powder Puff, dressed up every day, encouraged others, and was a joy at the dance.” -Ms. Choun, Math Teacher
Brody Wilson: 12th Grade
“Brody encompasses what we want a D'Evelyn student to be. He is a strong student, he participates in a variety of athletic and activity programs throughout the school, and he is always willing to express his joy and support for D'Evelyn. If there is an after-school activity/game, Brody is there cheering on his classmates. He goes out of his way to mentor younger students, and he sets the example for how to be successful and have fun at the same time. I have leaned on Brody this year to help spread school spirit and engagement at D'Evelyn, and Brody has led the charge. I couldn't be more proud of the leader that Brody has become. He truly encompasses what it means to be the Heart of D'Evelyn.” -Mr. McCaslin-Hahn, Athletic Director

Reese Ascione - French 2, 8th grade
Reese Ascione came to D'Evelyn this year as an 8th grader and placed into French 2. She is not only doing fantastic as a new D'Evelyn student but has also become our leading participant in the class.
