eDCSD Online High School Update
December 4, 2024
Giving Tree For The Winter Holidays 2024
Sign up for community service hours (up to 5 hours total). Bring items anytime before or by the morning of December 17. Click HERE to sign up.
Community Service Hours Opportunity
A local Food Bank is asking for students to collect toiletry items to distribute to families in need.
The toiletry items are the typical travel sized soap and shampoo items that we would see in hotel rooms.
For every 10 items that a student collects, they can earn 1 hour of community service. Mr. Kellar will deliver the items to the Food Bank; students need to deliver the items to the eDCSD office.

While at Blended, students will participate in projects and activities to support relationships between the teachers and students as well as peer connections. In addition, all staff including administrators, counselors, tech support, school psychologist, learning coach, learning specialist, and office staff are available to support students with any questions or needs.
Legacy Registration Information Meeting
DCSD's Legacy Campus will have their mandatory registration information/showcase night for prospective students and families on 12/4/24. Students will be receiving information on how to apply, have a chance to meet pathway developers, visit the classrooms and see all of the amazing things that current students are working on! For more information, please contact Ms. Williams at the Legacy Campus.
Student Volunteer Project News
A few eDCSD students collected donations on their own from friends and acquaintances and over break, they picked the donations up and went through them to organize it all. They headed to Denver and gave our clothing, snacks and water to every unhoused person they saw. They met so many new people and were so fulfilled at the end of the day.

Khanmigo Pilot Information
Click HERE to read a letter from DCSD regarding the Khanmigo AI pilot that eDCSD Online will participate in this school year.
Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check students attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.
