Starting next week and into the fall, we will be having feedback sessions for students, parents, and the community for input on the upcoming construction projects at each school listed below.

Woodberry Hills on August 24 at 6 p.m.

Forest Hills on September 8 at 5:30 p.m.

Park Avenue on September 28 at 6 p.m.

Gibson on October 12 at 6 p.m.

At DPS, we're launching our High Fives for Attendance campaign to remind students, parents, and the community at large that every student should be in every class everyday. We know that attendance is one of the biggest graduation indicators, and it is hard for children to catch up from missed days. Please join us in our efforts to make attendance a priority this year!

- On Wednesday, our first cohort of 20 Early College Scholars had orientation at Danville Community College. Twenty students from Galileo and GW will complete their junior and senior years at DCC and graduate with their high school diplomas and Associates Degrees.

- On Wednesday, Woodberry Hills Fifth Graders had 100 PERCENT attendance. Congratulations to those members of the Wolfpack!

- Our GW JV football team won their game last night against William Fleming. The Varsity team plays at William Fleming tonight. Let's Go Eagles!

- Our schools have received some generous donations this week! We would like to thank Tracy Meade from West Piedmont PDC for donating supplies to kindergarteners at Park Avenue, the Danville Professional Women's Association for their supply donation to Woodberry, and the Chatham Rotary Club and Columbia Forest for donating book bags and supplies to our students at Gibson.

If you recently changed your cell phone number or moved, please be sure to let your child's school know as soon as possible. This is critical in parent communication and making sure we can reach you for informational, as well as emergency, communications!

August 22 - Transition Stop Open House at Woodrow at 5:30 p.m.

August 24 - Woodberry Hills renovation feedback session at 6 p.m.
