News for 8th graders: Each of the DPS high schools is offering a 9th grade Academy in August, in order to provide a 4-day opportunity for the new 9th graders to become accustomed to the school, the staff, and some of the expectations about high school.
If you are interested in having your 8th grader attend their high school’s academy and haven’t received any instructions from the new school on how to sign up, please contact Dawn Carrico, dawn_carrico@dpsk12.org and I will make the arrangements for you.

Congratulations to the Bill Roberts Shakespeare Club and Ms. Mahlke’s class. All 15 groups who auditioned for the DPS Shakespeare Festival made it into the Festival, and will be performing on May 11th!! Way to go, Bobcats!!
We’ve had two pretty important events take place in local news in the past month or so, and these events were influenced by the voices of Bill Roberts students.
1) Ms. Cheryl Beckwith’s class took a field trip to the state capitol to help convince the legislature to name a state reptile (I’m getting confirmation on this — I may have some of this wrong — check back next week!). They were quite persuasive, because their trip was ultimately quite successful! Congratulations!
2) Mrs. Lacy Smith’s second grade class took their written concerns to Councilman Herndon on March 8. They wrote persuasive text concerning their ideas for the Control Tower renovation in Stapleton. They did a great job and learned the power of the written word. (videos coming soon)
Congratulations, Bobcats, on using your skills to make our world a better place!

Maybe you are a Kentucky fan? Maybe a Baylor fan? No matter who your favorite college is, grab some sort of college gear and clothing for College Day this Friday, April 6. And once the day is over, wear your gear to Qdoba for free Chips and Queso, or head to Cold Stone Creamery from 3pm-7pm for a free “Like-it” sized ice cream — but you must be wearing your college items!
