Dear DHS staff, students, and families, 

This school year, students and parents/guardians can find class grades on Infinite Campus (IC). If you need help navigating IC, please click here to find instructions and support from our technology department. If you are able to join us at Open House this evening, you can also stop by the Makerspace, F105, for additional support using IC and Schoology. 

As a reminder, Open House starts this evening (Thursday, September 1) at 6:30 p.m. for Early Bird Classes and 1st period starts at 6:45 p.m. Click HERE for the Open House bus route times for parents/guardians. Due to limited parking and high volume traffic, we highly encourage families to take the bus. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Principal Kathryn Anderson

Counselor Appointments

School Counselors and Postsecondary Counselors subscribe to Calendly, an online appointment scheduling system. 

Calendly allows students to view counselor availability, creating streamlined, direct access to their counselor. Access to a school counselor's calendar can be found through the student's Counselor folder in Schoology. Students can utilize their study hall, off-labs, and passing periods to schedule a meeting.

Seniors can schedule appointments with Postsecondary Counselors using Calendly by visiting the Class of 2023 page on the CCRC website.
