CAMPUS GOAL

By May of 2018 we will decrease the total percentage of D/F’s in literacy and math school wide by 25% (from May of 2017 percentages) as evidenced by a score of four or better on the end of course level of achievement marks.

Fun Fact:  DVUSD scored higher on the AZMerit tests than the state average and charter schools.

Learner Profile Trait for February

The Learner Profile trait for February is open-minded.  We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.

The Learner Profile quote of the day is:  “It’s about continuing to learn and being open-minded, don't ever think you know it all.”
