Hello!

Last week, DRDFS made the difficult decision to postpone a couple upcoming in-person student events due to the rise in COVID cases in our region. While this doesn't impact any planned events for juniors, I did want to take this time to let you know we are planning for a virtual SAT Prep with The Princeton Review. Final dates are TDB but expect to hear more from us about that soon!

As always, please feel welcome to reach out with questions/concerns.
