Greetings DV Connect HS students and families,

Below is next week’s schedule. It is a normal cohort week on Mon/Thurs and Tues/Fri:

Tues/Fri of next week includes CAASPP Testing for Juniors only. After Juniors are finished they will be going back to their regularly scheduled classes.

Don’t forget to check the DAILY TRACKER– a one stop shop for all asynchronous and synchrounous work/assignments, due dates, projects, office hours times and links, etc. Its the best way to keep up to date and on track in your classes- for students and parents/guardians. Its also a great tool to build your asynch days. And don’t hesitiate to reach out to your teacher should you have any questions. All the same information that is on the Daily Tracker is also in each teacher’s Google Classrooms. The end of the semester is in 3 weeks and 2 days, time to finish strong!
