🎓💜 Congratulations to Our DCVPA Promoted Lions! 💜🎓

On June 11th, our halls were filled with celebration, pride, joy, and yes... a few happy tears as we honored our Kindergarten, 5th Grade, and 8th Grade students during their Promotion Ceremony.

To our students: Congratulations! Your hard work, growth, perseverance, and accomplishments have brought you to this special milestone. We are incredibly proud of each of you and cannot wait to see all that you achieve in the next chapter of your educational journey.

To our families: Thank you for your unwavering support, encouragement, and partnership. Your love, dedication, and belief in your children have helped make this moment possible. We are honored to be part of your family's story.

To our teachers and staff: Thank you for the countless hours, care, patience, and commitment you pour into our students each day. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, helping to shape confident, capable, and compassionate young people.

As we celebrate these milestones, we are reminded that every achievement is the result of a community coming together to support and uplift our scholars. Thank you for making this day so memorable.

Once a Lion, always a Lion. 🦁✨

What better way to end the school year than with a Staff v. Student basketball game?!

This game was full of hoops and hollers! The game was loud and the competition was fierce.

Staff pulled off a 29-7 victory, but both teams brought incredible effort, sportsmanship and school spirit!

Thank you to all our volunteers and staff that helped make this past Friday's Summer Splash one for the memory books! You all know how to have a ROARing good time.

We had stations that consisted of bubbles, popsicles, facepainting, water balloons, water bucket relay, tug of war, limbo and more!

Dear Families,

Grades 3–8 End-of-Grade (EOG) testing will begin on Friday, May 29, with students taking the Mathematics EOG. On Monday, June 1, students will complete the Reading EOG. Fifth- and eighth-grade students will take the Science EOG on Tuesday, June 2.

Students who demonstrate proficiency will earn an achievement level score of 3, 4, or 5. Students who do not initially demonstrate proficiency will have a second opportunity to show their knowledge during the week of June 8 through EOG retesting.

Additional information regarding retesting opportunities will be sent home beginning June 2. We appreciate your support in helping students arrive at school well-rested and ready to do their best.

Enjoy your weekend!

Ever wonder what your teachers would look like if they dressed like you? Check out the swag our crew had for Dress Like a Teacher/Student Day!

05/08/2026

In honor of teacher appreciation week, today was Super Hero Day where students and teachers dressed up as their favorite super hero.

Batwoman swooped into 3rd grade today, proving that not all heroes wear capes… some teach multiplication and reading too! From fighting crime to fighting wrong answers, she kept our students engaged, empowered, and ready to save the day… one lesson at a time!

Looks like Gotham isn’t the only place with superheroes… ours teaches 3rd grade!

Thanks, Ms Colette —- I mean, Batwoman, for saving the day once again.
