Is Your Chromebook Charged?

This is just a friendly reminder to charge your Chromebook.


If you have not been using your district device over the holiday break, chances are your battery power has gone down. Don't forget to plug your Chromebook in and give it a fresh charge so that it is ready to work on MOnday!

All Student Email Password Reset

On Monday, all students will be asked to reset the password for their DSUSD Google accounts during Advisory class.


All students are expected to have their district issued device with them and charged.


If you are absent on Monday and need assistance in changing your password when you return, all Advisory teachers will have instructions on how to reset your password and can assist.

Three Weeks Until the End of Semester 1

All grades will become final for the semester after Friday, December 16th.

It's hard to believe it, but we are only 3 weeks away from the end of the first semester of the school year (and Winter Break)!


Let's take this time to focus on learning, get work and assignments turned in, and enjoy a positive end to the first half of an awesome school year.


The last day of the semester, Friday, December 16th, will be a minimum day with a 12:18 pm release.
