🚨 Dress Code Reminder
The temps are rising, Brahmas—but the dress code isn’t going on summer break just yet!

Here is your reminder:

• No hats unless they are DBHS
• No strapless or midriff shirts

Dress code violations earn you an hour in Saturday School and let’s be real—Saturdays are way too valuable for that.

Stay cool, stay stylish, and stay in dress code!

Students who plan to ride an e-bike or e-scooter to or from school must complete the online e-bike and e-scooter safety and policy training. This training ensures students understand traffic laws, safety expectations, and the specific regulations related to e-bike and e-scooter use. The course covers key topics such as traffic laws and local ordinances, safe operation of e-bikes and e-scooters, and licensing and age requirements.

To register for the e-bike and e-scooter safety training, go to https://www.pedalace.com/wvusd and complete the self-enrollment process. You will need to provide your name, student ID number, and student WVUSD email address. After registering, you will receive instructions to begin the online training. When finished, PedalAce will send a completion certificate along with instructions for obtaining the WVUSD sticker for the student’s e-bike or e-scooter.

Students must place the WVUSD sticker on the handlebars of their e-bike or e-scooter and must wear a helmet while riding. E-bikes and e-scooters without the WVUSD completion sticker will not be permitted on campus.

How to Use CCGI to Complete Your FAFSA

Follow these steps to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) through CCGI (CaliforniaColleges.edu). Using CCGI connects your FAFSA directly with your high school and makes the process smoother and more secure.

Step 1: Go to the CCGI Website Visit CaliforniaColleges.edu.

Step 2: Launch FAFSA Through CCGI After logging in, launch your FAFSA application from within CCGI. Important: Do not go directly to the FAFSA website. Starting from CCGI ensures your FAFSA links correctly to your school and district, helping your counselors track completion and avoid errors.

Step 3: Sign In With Your School Email Select "Sign in with Google" and use your school-issued email address (for example,@wvusd.org). This keeps your account connected to your school and gives you access to the correct CCGI tools.

Step 4: Complete Your FAFSA Once you've launched FAFSA through CCGI, follow the instructions to fill out and submit your FAFSA. Your information will transfer securely to the FAFSA site.
