DSST: College View High School

End of a School Year

06/13/24, 4:46 PM

Dear DSST Families, 

Another school year is done! Thank you for being a part of DSST and entrusting us with the education of your student(s). I have received a warm welcome across the DSST community. There were so many fun moments this spring, like meeting families of seniors at Senior Signing Day, seeing our students in action in their classrooms, and joining in the fun of family events.  

I can’t wait to meet more families and students next year!

With summer here – it’s time for all of us to rest and recharge. I hope that you and your family have an opportunity to enjoy more time together. 

I wanted to highlight one small change to our 2024-2025 school calendar in Semester 2 for our Middle School families. We have added a 1:30 p.m. early release for all middle schools only on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. Calendar changes can be inconvenient. We hope by sharing now that you are given sufficient time to plan. This change is for teachers to have time to grade student assessments and have students be college-ready. You can find our updated network calendar here, and we will update all school calendars after summer break.  

Mark your calendars! Join us at the DSST Welcome Back Bash for the whole family on August 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the National Western Complex. Let’s reconnect, celebrate, and get excited for the new school year. You won’t want to miss it, and it’s completely FREE!

I hope to see you on August 10, but look forward to kicking off our next school year on August 13, the First Day of School! I cannot tell you how excited I am for my first full school year as the leader of DSST.

¡Adelante!
