What a wonderful start to the 2018-19 school year at DC West! Community Connections will come to you each month to keep you up-to-date on school district news. Our theme for the school year is #BeFalconKind. This has been introduced with guest speakers, student and staff activities, and visuals all around the district. We will continue to bring focus to the importance of kindness in our school and community throughout the year. A big "Thank You" to our High School Student Council for providing leadership on this year's theme!
#BeFalconKind~

Summer Projects Bring an Updated Look
@ DCWest High School
|
Two new science labs, a life skills lab, and five adjacent classrooms were part of a 3.4 million dollar project to improve our learning spaces.
Within this same project, we replaced four roof top units and added air conditioning to the south gym. In addition, the hot water boilers and pumps were relocated from the elementary to the high school.
