Hello Parents and Students,

The Academy of Art University is offering a plethora of free online art classes during their Pre-College Art Experience (PCAE) program this summer. The summer semester will start in the beginning of July and they will be offering 39 different courses for students to take. Besides the wonderful opportunity to take free art classes, every student will receive a $1,000 Academy of Art scholarship for each class they pass if they end up attending the Academy of Art one day.

The summer term begins July 5, 2021 – August 14, 2021 (for Summer you can take up to 3 classes).

To view the application and for more information on this program, please visit this website.

Weekly Update

Greetings DV Connect Students and Families,

Hope everyone had a nice week.

CLICK HERE for the Daily Tracker…a running document of each class due dates, assignments, recordings, etc. It is a very helpful document to plan out  how you should spend your asynchronous days and plan your time!

Learning Log #4 is due TODAY! Please know that turning in learning logs on time and filled out completely, including student work samples, is a requirement by the state for independent study. Failure to turn in a completed Learning Log with appropriate work samples will trigger a non-compliance letter to be sent.

Attention students, please check your Learning Logs #1, #2, and #3- some of you have feedback that needs to be addressed and edited! So also check those.

Thank you for your work on these!

Spring Break is April 5-9, no school this week.

There are some great virtual college fairs and info sessions happening this Spring! Please refer to previous blog posts about the different informational sessions. You can also contact Erin, your counselor, should you have any questions.
