All, with just 10 days left before we begin final exams, it is important for students to arrive to school daily, on time, prepared to learn. We must keep a laser like focus on academics, so that all can finish the school year strong. Students will begin final exams June 5th - 9th.

The PowerSchool Enrollment Back-to-School update was activated for parents to view and update student information for the 2023-2024 school year. If you have not completed the form, please contact Mr. Garcia or Ms. Keim. The goal is 100% completion.
Senior Awards Day
Senior Awards Day is Friday, May 26th at 9:15am-12:30pm. Mark Your Calendar! Senior Fest will follow the awards day ceremony.
Deadline to return all library books is June 2. Govern yourselves accordingly!
All student-issued technology devices (Chromebook, chargers, and hotspots) must be turned in before summer break. If you fail to return your device, it will be locked, and you will not receive a new device next school year until you return the old one. Govern yourselves accordingly!
That said, parents please continue to help us enforce the DPS Code of Conduct by ensuring that your student adheres to the rules, policies and procedures set forth. Students show your school pride by wearing our school colors on Friday. I will see each of you at the River tomorrow. Go forth and make it a great evening! Roll Pirates Roll!!
Additionally:
The next opportunity for Seniors to take the CPR class will be on Wednesday, May 24 at 12:15 in the lower gym. This class is required for Graduation.
