Freshman GLC NEWS & NOTES VOL 1 ISSUE #3

Class of 2021 Grade Level Coordinators

Mr. Kevin Patterson & Mrs. Stephanie Duenas

 

CLASS OF 2021 GLC NEWS AND NOTES VOLUME 1 ISSUE #3

September 15, 2017

 

Class of 2021 Students and Parents,

 

Here are a few items of interest for your review from your DBHS Class of 2021 Grade Level Coordinators:

 

 

  1. 6-WEEK GRADING PERIOD APPROACHING

As we settle into Week #6 and the end of the first 6-week grading period next Friday,

September 22nd, we hope your student has settled into a regular and solid study routine at home.  The first 6-week grading period of high school sometimes brings surprises to parents.  We encourage you to monitor your students via the Parent Portal on a regular basis.  See #4 below if you don’t have a Parent Portal account set up.

 

  1. ACADEMIC SUPPORT/TUTORING

Please visit our Class of 2021 webpage via the DBHS Website, www.dbhs.org.  You will find under files the many Academic Support programs available for your student.  Look for Files starting with TUTORING.  An additional Tutoring program just added to our webpage is the free Math and Science Tutoring at MTSAC!

 

  1. SCHEDULE CHANGES

Students should be settled into their courses by now.  We are not making any additional schedule changes with the exception of the following:

  1. Students trying out for Athletic Teams who need to be moved to period 6 Athletics.  We will continue to make these changes as students are placed on Athletic teams.  We do our best to limit the number of classes this affects; however, sometimes multiple class changes will result.

 

  1. PARENT AND STUDENT PORTAL

All 9th graders who attended a WVUSD Middle School last school year will be able to continue using the Student and Parent Portals.  It will transfer to DBHS just before school opens.

 

If you are new to the WVUSD, you may also register for the Student and Parent Portal.  This will allow you to access student information such as attendance, grades etc.  Directions on how to register for this Student and Parent Portal may be found on the DBHS website.  Simply access www.dbhs.org and go to either the STUDENTS OR PARENTS pull-down menu and look for the Parent Portal File.  Verification Codes may be received from Mr. Randy Thomas, Technology Director, [email protected] or Mrs. Mingie Han, Registrar, [email protected].

 

  1. DIAMOND BAR HIGH SCHOOL WEBSITE AND CLASS OF 2021 WEBPAGE

Parents and Students should access the DBHS website www.dbhs.org on a regular basis.  Students should check the website daily for announcements, opportunities and campus news.  In addition, when on the DBHS Website, students and parents should access the Class of 2021 webpage by clicking on GUIDANCE/GLC and then the Class of 2021 link.  Great information, don’t miss out!

 

  1. ROUTINES

Students should be into their regular school routine by now.  Consistent bedtime, wake-up time, study time and place etc.  Routines foster success!

 

  1. STUDENT WVUSD EMAIL ADDRESS

All DBHS students are assigned a Walnut Valley USD student email address.  For example, the email will look like this:  6-digit Student ID [email protected].  Students should access this email account often.  Some students may want to have email messages sent to their Student Email forwarded to their personal email address so they do not miss important email messages.

 

  1. REMIND TEXT MESSAGE SYSTEM

The Class of 2021 is utilizing a free Text-Message Remind system.  You may have already completed the sign-up process during your recent registration meeting with your GLC.  If you have not completed this sign-up process, PLEASE SIGN UP NOW.  Students and Parents are encouraged to sign up.

PLEASE JOIN OUR TEXT MESSAGE REMIND SYSTEM.  THIS ALLOWS YOUR GLC TO SEND THE ENTIRE CLASS OF 2021 (STUDENTS AND PARENTS) TEXT MESSAGE REMINDERS THROUGHOUT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.  FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW:

 

TEXT MESSAGE REMIND SYSTEM:  TO JOIN USING YOUR CELL PHONE: 

ENTER THIS NUMBER:   81010

  1. EVENING SCHOOL EVENTS AND THE NO RE-ENTRY POLICY

For evening school events such as Varsity Football games, we enforce the No-Re-entry policy.  Simply stated, students will not be allowed to leave the event and Re-Enter the event. 

“Once In-Once Out” is the practice.  We want our students to enjoy our events and leaving and returning does not allow that to happen and can become a safety issue.  Please discuss this with your students when they attend evening school activities.
