A reminder about our ongoing Breakfast program available in the DHS Cafeteria each morning. The breakfast program is a great way to ensure students start the day with a nutritious meal. Students enrolled in the 2024-2025 free/reduced lunch program continue to receive breakfast at no cost.
Students and staff dressing up for Halloween is always exciting at DHS. This year, like usual, a majority of students took advantage of the opportunity and came to school in some creative and interesting costumes. In addition, we had a student costume contest, which was won by Rose Ciccolella and Caitlin Wallace, dressing as characters from the movie, Step Brothers. The staff costume contest was won by those on the 3rd floor, who dressed as emotions from the movie Inside Out.
The College Application process is in full swing. Any Seniors that are looking to go to a 4 year college, 2 year college or trade school should be working with their counselor, Ms. Markert, to make sure all deadlines and requirements are met.
The Black Student Union is hosting a trip on November 21st to the annual Malcolm Bernard HBCU College fair, the organizers are looking to host Juniors and Seniors who are serious about college being their post-high school plan. Seniors who participate in the fair have the opportunity to receive admission decisions the day of the fair as well as scholarship awards. If interested, reach out to Dr. Best.

The First Quarter ends Wednesday, November 6th.
The DHS Homework Help Center runs from 2:45 - 3:45 pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the DHS Tech Center. Students can come to get extra help from teachers with their school work or just sit and have a quiet place to get things done. We encourage students to attend so that they have fewer or no assignments to do when they get home.

As the first quarter draws to a close, students in the 10th and 11th grade Health classes have something to work towards. In Mr. Hummel’s 10th grade Driver’s Education class, students are taking their State of NJ Drivers Permit test, hopefully passing so that they are one step closer to getting their driver’s license. In Ms. DelRosario’s 11th grade Health class, students have been studying First Aid & CPR/AED training, hoping to pass and be eligible to receive their Red Cross certification. These are both tests that open new doors for students - and can save a life! |
