Commander Communicator 10-7

A Message From Principal Almon

Dear Commander Community,

“History is a narrative; it’s a collection of stories sanctioned by the ruling power, and reinforced through words and images that suit them.” – Kent Monkman

As we prepare for next week, please remember to wear redon Monday in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and carefully review the schedule shown below. Seniors, if you are not on track with your competency graduation requirement you will receive an email invite to take the Accuplacer Assessment on either 10/12 or 10/13, please check your email. 
Please plan on attending Student-Led Conferences on either 10/12 or 10/13 from 4 pm to 7 pm. If your student cannot attend with you, no problem, we will print your student’s schedule and guide you through the process. If your student can lead you through the parent/guardian conference experience, every student must bring their Chromebook to present their slide deck.   The TuVoz survey the team survey was sent to your DPS email address on Sept. 26, and the family survey can be found here.

Have a Commander Kind of Day,

Tiffany Almon, Proud Principal

She, her, hers, and why they matter
