Principal's Corner 🍎
Greetings Aspire Families:
💡 Please take just a couple of minutes to complete the DVUSD Parent and Community Survey below. We value your feedback!
🍎 We are nearing the end of the third quarter for students in grades K-8. Check with your student's teachers for close dates.
🍕 We are celebrating our K-12 fulltime students who have reached the goal at our quarterly Pizza with the Principal! Students who qualify will receive an invitation to the event through email at the end of next week.
📑A friendly reminder to all parents and guardians: please remember to submit your MYHOURS to track your required attendance each week. Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated, and it helps us maintain accurate records.
💌PTA Membership: Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) plays a crucial role in supporting our school community. If you are interested in becoming an active PTA member and contributing to the success of our school, please find more information below. Your involvement makes a significant difference!
🎓Get ready for an exciting event! Our Kindergarten Round-Up is just around the corner, and we invite all prospective Kindergarten students and their families to join us on March 5th, starting at 2:30 PM. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet our dedicated teachers, explore our kindergarten, and learn more about the enriching educational experience we offer at Aspire. We'll provide essential information to ensure a smooth transition into this important stage of your child's academic journey.
