Superintendent's Snapshot - May + June 2019
Hello DJUSD Community
On April 10, high school juniors and seniors were invited to attend the Career Exploration Fair, hosted by the Davis Chamber of Commerce in partnership with DJUSD. Thank you to all of the groups and businesses that participated in this event!
Spring is in the air. As we approach the final weeks of the 2018-19 school year, many exciting performances, events and celebrations are unfolding in our classrooms and across our campuses. Spring is also incredibly busy time of year as we continue with a number of important District initiatives. In this May/June Snapshot you will see some of the highlights I have witnessed from last month and what news is yet to come!
Career Exploration Fair
April 11 saw the Grand Opening of Willett's new MakerSpace! This collaborative space builds on DJUSD's Graduate Profile and 21st century learning spaces. Thank you to everyone who played a role in bringing this vision to life!
