Class of 2023
We are in this Together!
Finish Strong!
Checkin' In...
Half-Way through Quarantine! Really, we are almost there! This is it, the last push for the finish line… your freshman year grades are almost finalized! We only have 3 weeks of school left, so let’s finish strong. Below are some reasons why you need to work hard and put your full effort into each of your classes for the remainder of the semester.
*This is an opportunity to bring up your grades if they were not quite where you wanted them to be on March 13th.
*Acquire knowledge and skills that will directly benefit you in next year's classes.
*To maintain your work ethic and study skills so the transition back into a normal school setting is not as challenging.
*It's the right thing to do. Your character is judged best by what you do when no one is watching.
Mental Health and Wellness
Mental Health Awareness: We feel that your mental and physical health should still be your top priority. We have created the DBHS Mindfulness website! We have to admit, we think it’s awesome. Click HERE to check it out! We have all different ways to help you get your mind right from visuals, sounds, music exercise, you really should check it out! Mrs. Burns’ favorite is the Live Animal Cameras. It may be to relax her, or maybe it just keeps those 3 little kiddos of hers occupied watching the cams so she gets peace and quiet but it works. Mr. Gonzales’ favorite is the guided meditation. There is something for everyone.
Visuals, sounds, and mindful affirmations can help you manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and help you sleep better. Take a look and see what you think, warning it can be addicting.
Connect with us Virtually
Meet your GLCs: We are available and ready to "meet" with any of our students this Wednesday from 12-1. If you would like to jump on Google Meet we will be hanging out and any or all of the class of 2023 can join us there. There is no set agenda, you can come in, hang out, and ask questions that you may have. We will email you the code to join us shortly before noon on Wednesday. Check your student email address if you want to join us. If you cannot join us but would still like to get in touch with us, we are offering a variety of ways to do that and get your questions answered. You can always email us and if you would like to set up a meeting for counseling and support we can definitely do that.
Summer School
Summer School. If you are registered, you should be receiving information from D2L and DBHS this week. Summer school is still happening and the plan is to have it online. If you missed the window to sign up, you can check the D2L website to see if there is still any available courses. If you are getting a D/F in English, Algebra I, or World History this semester, send us an email if we haven’t already signed you up for summer school.
College
The district has partnered with Collegewise. They are providing us with webinars that will be pretty informative. Keep in mind they are for all grade levels, which means when they are talking about the Pandemic and College Admissions, that they will not be talking much about our 2023 class at this point because it’s so far off. They are offering some at the end of May and beginning of June that should be helpful for us: Creative Summer Planning and Testing (SAT/ACT) info. Check out the link HERE to sign up for the webinars and get them on your calendar.

Final Thoughts
We miss you all so much and really are thinking about all of you and your families during this pandemic. We know that the pandemic is changing so much in the world, in our schools, and in our homes. We know that this is not easy for any of us, but we truly are in this together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, even if it’s just to say hi, we miss all of you and hope you are doing well.
Take good care,
Mr. Gonzales and Mrs. Burns
