COLT CONNECTION

Students are allowed to wear costumes to school on Friday, 10/30. However, costumes must adhere to district dress code policies. Similarly, students' costumes must not be inflatable, made of latex, or include any type of mask or covers their face so we cannot idenify them. Students should not bring any objects that resemble any type of weapon. We want our students to have fun but do so in a safe manner that does not impede our academic processes.

This is a reminder that the following immunizations that are REQUIRED for school in the State of Arizona by 12 years old:

• Tdap

If your student has not received these immunizations, please see your Healthcare Provider or come to our district's Vaccine Event tomorrow, October 23rd!

If you are unsure if your student has received these, please feel free to reach out!

At Deer Valley Middle School, we believe it takes a team to help our students succeed, and our parents and guardians are an important part of that team! We’re looking for volunteers who are willing to lend a hand with lunch supervision, assisting teachers in the copy room, and helping plan school events.

We’d also love to connect with parents and guardians interested in starting a Parent-Student-Teacher Organization (PSTO) to help strengthen our school community and create even more opportunities for our Colts!

Whether you have a little time or a lot, your support makes a difference. If you’re interested in volunteering or learning more about starting a PSTO, please reach out to the school office. We’d love to have you on our team! Email Jackie Durham @ jackie.durham@dvusd.org.
