Welcome Back! I hope that you and your family enjoyed the Winter Break and had a very joyous holiday season. I am looking to start the 2023 year and lead the D’Evelyn community through our 2nd semester of the school year. It is always refreshing for me to welcome back students after an extended break, as we have the opportunity to renew our work and reset our goals with a fresh start to a new semester and new year. January and February have now become an important timeframe for students and families as the enrollment process for the 2023-2024 school year is in full deployment. As a reminder, all D’Evelyn families must read and review the following updates. EnrollJeffco Update All families need to use this system to let us know where their student(s) will go to school next school year. All families should access EnrollJeffco whether your student(s) is re-enrolling at D’Evelyn, choosing to change schools, or seeking enrollment at D’Evelyn for the first time. This should be completed no later than January 13, the closing date for the first round EnrollJeffco process. Other Important EnrollJeffco Dates:
For more information, refer to the EnrollJeffco web page. As an option school, D’Evelyn is uniquely impacted by the EnrollJeffco system. Our students are enrolled in a 100% choice process. We ask all D’Evelyn families to ensure that they have entered younger 5th and 6th-grade siblings in the D’Evelyn lottery in EnrollJeffco by the January 13 deadline date. This will help ensure the sibling preference priority. This is also critical for our new Dennison families to ensure your priority preference for currently enrolled 5th and 6th grade Dennison students. Additionally, please share these expectations with friends and community members you know with interest in D’Evelyn for their children who do not currently attend our school. First Days of the 2nd Semester For those few students who need to make up final exams, you should make these arrangements with your teachers to do this on Wednesday, January 4. Students will return to school on January 5, and we will resume classes on our usual bell schedule. It’s a short week of school for us all, but I expect we will adjust to our routine in short order. I know I share an excitement and eagerness to see all of our students later this week and the anticipation of a great start to the second semester!
