For families that have not yet completed the survey, you now have the opportunity to complete the survey on behalf of each of your students currently enrolled at D’Evelyn.

After Prom is great opportunity for younger families to get involved with a student favorite school tradition.  Look for Sign Up Genius links in school announcements soon for tangible items needed and spots to sign up to help. Volunteer to work the event or be part of the preparation committee; planning, décor, activities/vendors, food/drink and entertainment. Come see what the fun is all about.
We are currently looking for people to shadow a team leader this year to take on the planning for the next prom.  This is an excellent opportunity to get involved with other D'Evelyn Families.  Please contact Shannon if you're interested in a rewarding position on the After Prom committee.

Join one of our upcoming D'Evelyn Social Events, hosted by your fellow D'Evelyn families.  It's a great way to bring together families, students, teachers, staff, and our community together in mutual support for our wonderful school.  100% of the money raised from these Socials goes to the D’Evelyn Education Foundation to support student and teacher scholarships.  These Socials serve two purposes – (1) much needed funds are raised for the school and (2) it’s a great way to meet other amazing D’Evelyn families!  CHECK THEM OUT HERE

This message serves to remind D’Evelyn families of the opportunity to complete the Parent School Satisfaction Survey organized by the D’Evelyn Accountability Committee.  Additionally, we understand that there was a glitch in the initially released survey that did not allow multiple responses per family. That glitch has now been corrected. Here is the link to the survey: Parent School Satisfaction Survey  As outlined in the survey instructions, the survey itself is designed for parents to complete on behalf of each individual child that currently attends D’Evelyn to provide more clear feedback on the specific experiences of each student.  As such, the survey is updated, and families that have completed the survey once may now go back in to complete a second survey (and beyond) as needed. For families that have not yet completed the survey, you now have the opportunity to complete the survey on behalf of each of your students currently enrolled at D’Evelyn.

The Academic Assistance Center is officially running from 2:45-4:00 pm after school in the library. This program allows students to have a quiet time and space for additional academic support and tutoring. This is primarily for Jr. High, however, high school students may attend on a referral basis. If you wish for your student to attend the Academic Assistance Center, please contact your student’s administrator, counselor, or Mrs. Lewis (katie.lewis@jeffco.k12.co.us). Thanks!

This is Angela Hoffman’s last year being our volunteer Prom Parent after many years of dedicated service to D’Evelyn.  We are so grateful for all her efforts to make each prom a memorable experience for our students!  Now it is time for a new Prom Parent to take the reigns and help coordinate Prom activities.  We would love for our new parent volunteer to shadow Angela as she coordinates this year’s Prom and get an idea of what the position includes.  If you are interested in volunteering to plan and organize Prom for our great school in the future, please contact Assistant Principal Dan Wille at daniel.wille@jeffco.k12.co.us.
