Course Requests for the 2014 School Year

Parents and Students!
Please be aware that we began distributing course requests for the 2014 school year to all students. Course requests will be available for pick up in front of the Guidance office during both lunches. Students who did not pick up course requests today may stop by the Guidance office at lunch to pick it up. We encourage parents and students to review course requests for accuracy as opportunities for schedule changes in the Fall may be extremely limited. If a change is necessary, please feel free to contact Mrs. Moffat in Guidance. The deadline for students or parents to make changes is Friday, May 10, 2013. Course requests will be locked after that point, so we may begin the scheduling process. Thanks so much in advance for your cooperation.

Parent/Athlete Meeting for Fall Sports

The DHS athletic program will be hosting a mandatory parent/athlete meeting for all students interested in playing a fall sport (bowling, cross-country, football, golf, swimming and volleyball). This meeting will take place at the DHS auditorium off of Hill Ave on the evening of Tuesday, May 21st at 7:00pm. This first half of the meeting will give details concerning eligibility and paperwork requirements. All paperwork needed by the athletic office will be passed out at this time. Parents will be able to complete and hand in most paperwork at the meeting. This should speed up the process and assure that all athletes are cleared to participate prior to the 1st day of summer workout and/or fall practices. In addition, the athletic director will briefly discuss the FHSAA’s eligibility policy as well as Volusia County’s Pass to Participate and Pay to Play Policies.

During the 2nd half of the meeting, athletes and parents will break away with their particular sport to meet with the coach in other areas of the campus. The coaches will explain when/where practices will take place, hand out tentative game schedules, go over team expectations and rules, talk about equipment needs for practices, etc.

The athletic director and coaches look forward to meeting with all fall sports athletes and their parents here at Deland High School on Tuesday, May 21st in auditorium at 7pm. See you there!

Let’s Work Together to Keep Our Students Safe
Our students are being injured by vehicles at alarming rates. Since school opened this year, nine students have been struck and injured by vehicles throughout the county. Please do your part to keep our students safe. Watch out for pedestrians and bicycles. Expect children to be walking or riding bikes to and from school or their assigned bus stop between the hours of 6 am – 9 am and 1 pm – 5 pm. Obey the speed limits and stay alert. Urge your friends and neighbors to use caution when driving before and after school. We must change this trend and work together to keep our students safe.  For tips on vehicle and pedestrian safely, visit http://www.flhsmv.gov/SafetyTips/index.html  and www.gabbyslaw.com
