The 9th Grade Academy: The 9th Grade Academy is doing great work with the freshman class. Under the leadership of Mr. Reginald Cordy, the Principal of the 9th Grade Academy, two mentoring programs have been established for 9th grade boys and girls.
Boys 2 Men is a mentoring program dedicated to guide and support our 9th grade boys on their journey to becoming responsible young adults. The group based mentoring program gives our young boys a variety of male role models to support and encourage them through graduation.
G.E.M.S is the mentoring program for the 9th grade girls. The program is designed to promote self-esteem, self-empowerment, and self-awareness. Lead by teachers, young girls are exposed to a variety of successful people to nurture self-confidence, goal setting, and problem solving.
Both mentoring programs are school based with meetings held every other Tuesday from 7:00 -7:20AM. Additionally, both mentoring programs are engaged in career explorations, financial literacy, problem solving, goal setting, dressing for success, and college visits to name a few of the many activities that are planned for both groups throughout the year. For more information about the 9th Grade Academy Mentoring Programs, please contact Mr. Reginald Cordy at reginald.cordy@dcsirish.com
Student Safety & Wellness: Signing out students from school: Students are not allowed to leave campus during the school day without written permission from the parent and approval from the school administration.. No student is allowed to sign out to get lunch and return to school. All students must sign in and out of the school office before departing the school campus. Each student checking out should have a note and should submit it to the Front Office no later than 8:00 a.m. for verification and approval. The note should have the name and telephone number of the parent/guardian to be called. Students shall not be released until a parent/guardian is contacted and the verification process is completed. If a student checks out, he/she must keep his/her check out note and present it to the teachers whose classes were missed when the student returns to school. Under no circumstances should any student leave campus, once the student has arrived on campus, without parent/guardian verification before signing out.
Have a great week!
Don't Stop Believing!
