As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, there are so many things DCI is thankful for this school year. Our Board of Trustees approved our five-year strategic plan for 2024-2029 in October prioritizing input from our community (teachers, staff, students, guardians, member school leaders, and trustees) to inform our final plan; DCI students and their families welcomed students and chaperones from four of our five Voyager partner schools in Argentina, Spain and Taiwan (we now have two in Taiwan!); the DCI Dragons High School Theatre performed Mamma Mia! Nov. 14-16 and it showed off the many talents of our students during each performance; and our Athletics program had many successes this season with six PCSSA championships: MS Boys Soccer, Varsity Girls Soccer, Varsity Boys Soccer, JV Boys Soccer, MS Girls Cross Country and Varsity Girls Volleyball! So many things to be thankful for! 

We want to take this opportunity to remind you that students do not have regular classes scheduled for Monday, November 25 and Tuesday, November 26 due to student-led conferences (SLCs), which will be conducted virtually this year via Zoom. As a result, DCI’s building will be closed to students next week as Thanksgiving break is from Wednesday, November 27 – Friday, November 29.

As we head into Thanksgiving break, we hope you and your families take time to be with one another and stop to celebrate togetherness during this break.
