The Nevada Department of Education helps organize the Nevada Reading Week each year.  We are excited to participate this year Feb 27 – Mar 3.  The NDE website explains “Nevada Reading Week serves to promote a life-long love of reading. From students in Pre-Kindergarten listening attentively on a circle rug to their teacher’s riveting read-aloud to high school seniors engaging in rigorous discussions about a novel, the joy of reading is evident.” More information will be presented in the coming weeks. We hope you will join us in celebrating and promoting this lifelong joy of reading.

Parent University – FAFSA Night February 2, 5:30pm

We are excited to share that there are some small, but important, shifts coming to how scholars in 11th and 12th grade are graded.  These changes include granting a passing D letter grade for course grades of 60%-69%.  More details will be shared directly with High School families in the coming days.  We encourage all families to join in our Parent University on Thursday, February 2 at 5:30pm for an opportunity to ask questions. Agenda items for Parent University also include FAFSA-how to help pay for college, and community committees available to families organized by the DPAC Board of Directors. We hope to see you on February 2!

Scholar ID’s

Originally we announced scholar ID distribution scheduled for Friday, January 20th.  The printed ID cards we received had many errors and we were forced to postpone the ID card distribution.  The majority of scholars will receive their ID’s this week during advisory for 6th – 12th Grade Scholars.  Remaining ID’s will be printed shortly and distributed. These ID’s are important because they confirm to public agencies that your scholars are students, but they are also scannable ID’s that will be utilized during lunches, can be scanned for access to athletic events, and will be linked to scholar assigned tech. Please help us by reminding your scholars to bring their ID every day to school.

Reserve Your Scholars Seat for 23/24 School Year

To reserve your scholars seat for the next school year, all you need to do is fill out this brief form!

Congratulations on nearing the close of another school year. Because of your Hard Work, your scholar is one step closer to Going to College and Changing the World! As you know, our commitment to you when you enrolled at Democracy Prep at the Agassi Campus was that we would ensure your child is successful in college and beyond and lives a life of active citizenship. We are eager for all of our scholars to continue with us in the upcoming year. After all, at Democracy Prep at the Agassi Campus, we play the long game and we’re confident that if you stay with us, we will deliver on that promise of success in the college of your choice. If you are feeling unsure about whether your child will continue with us, we need to know this immediately so that we can discuss your concerns and try to work through them. But, ultimately our goal is to help you find the best educational institution for your child moving forward, even if it is not with us. If you choose another option for your child next year, we would like to have the opportunity to offer your child’s seat to another scholar who needs it.

Please use this Intent to Return Form to let us know whether you expect your child to return next year. Hard copies of the form are also available in the front office at your convenience. Please either complete the survey below or send back the completed hard copy to school with your scholar as soon as possible.

Please note that there will be several options to fill out this form before the end of the year, but if you do not reply, your seat at Democracy Prep at the Agassi Campus may be filled by another student on our student waiting list at the end of the school year.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
