11th Grade Newsletter
October 2026
Happy October! It’s hard to believe we are already moving into the second month of the school year. Our 11th grade Dragons are continuing to grow as students, leaders, and young adults while preparing for the opportunities that await them after high school.
As we move through the fall, this is an important time for students to stay focused on their academics, attendance, and personal goals. Junior year is an opportunity to begin thinking more intentionally about life after high school, whether that includes college, a career, the military, or another pathway.
Families should also be on the lookout for upcoming SAT dates and information. The SAT is an important part of the college planning process for many students, and now is a great time to become familiar with testing dates, registration deadlines, and available preparation resources. We encourage students to take advantage of opportunities at school to prepare and ask questions along the way.
We also encourage our juniors to stay involved in the Dragon community through clubs, athletics, activities, and leadership opportunities. These experiences help students build connections, develop their strengths, and make the most of their high school experience.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are excited to see our 11th grade Dragons continue to grow, lead, and prepare for their next chapter!
In DP Visual Arts, students are learning how to create art using a wide variety of techniques, tools, and materials. So far this year, students have explored collage, collagraph and multiple monoprinting techniques.
The first few months of DP Visual Arts are all about exploration and building a toolbox of possibilities. Students will eventually need to develop their own artistic direction and create a personal plan for their artwork, so these mini-workshops give them the opportunity to try lots of different techniques and discover what interests them.
