PLEDGE & MOMENT OF SILENCE
TODAY IS A “B” DAY
Hello
Mustangs,
As
the weather begins to get warmer, it is imperative that students continue to
follow the Washoe County School District (WSCD) dress code. The WCSD
dress code policy may be found in the student planner, in the display in front
of Student Services, and on our DRHS website.
So
be sure shorts and dresses are at least mid-length (roughly to the bottom of
your fingertips when you stand up straight), and keep those hats and hoodies
off while on campus, etc.
If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact Student Services.
The
staff at Damonte Ranch is committed to working with you to ensure all students
have a successful spring semester in the classroom, and we can do so by
limiting dress code violation distractions.
Thank
you for your commitment to your education. Go mustangs!
Have
you ever wished you had the chance to send a teacher or administrator into a
dunk tank?
Then your chance has arrived! FCA is selling tickets to try to dunk Coach
Dupris, Mr. Pence, or our future principal Mr. Bell. Tickets are $5 for 3
balls, and are being sold during lunch on starting on May 15th
(Monday) until May 18th (Thursday). All proceeds will go to
Awaken, a non-profit organization that helps victims of sex trafficking.
The actual dunk tank will happen during lunch on Thursday, May 25th. (Run 5/11, 5/12, 5/15,
and 5/16)
The Damonte Ranch
boys are your 2017 Sierra league Champions for Track and Field! Congrats DRHS Track and
Field Athletes and Coaches, and Good luck this week at Regionals on Friday and
Saturday!
This week is the last week of the fused glass jewelry
sale! Students
get a $5.00 discount on up to three items and they make great Mother’s Day
gifts. We’ll be selling jewelry in room
146 after school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week and hopefully at
lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Hundreds
of days, thousands of photos, millions of memories. Don’t miss out! Purchase your 2016-2017
yearbook now!
They
are selling out fast and prices increase again soon so don’t wait. You can purchase by going to yearbookforever.com
or going to the bookkeepers office to pay.
Willa Cather once said, “Most of the basic material a
writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.” That means
writers, that you have a lot to work with so consider submitting your work to
the Hoof Notes literary magazine. The deadline is fast approaching…it’s
about two weeks away! Submit work to your English classroom teacher, to
Ms. Servilican in room 214. We are still looking for some excellent work
from students and teachers alike. Hear that teachers, you are welcome to
submit something too!
Damonte Ranch High School would like to thank Lamppost Pizza, Renown and
The Reno Print Store for supporting the production of new window covers at
DRHS. JAG students, Jill Bohach, Hector Ponce, Tanner Fox, Maddie Nichols,
Brittany Carroll Keegan and Miranda Slack Welsh donated hundreds of hours
designing and manufacturing the covers, developing relationships in the
community, comparing prices, overcoming barriers and communicating with various
staff to make this project happen. Lamppost Pizza donated $400 and Renown has
contributed $200. The Reno Print Store also provided printing at reduced cost.
The idea for the window covers came from Damonte Ranch High School’s outgoing
Principal, Denise Hausauer. She said “JAG students are a behind the scenes kind
of group, and sometimes that is hard.” So, if you see a JAG student, give them
a big thank you!
The final exam schedule has been updated. Final exams will be Wednesday June 7th, Thursday
June 8th and Friday June 9th.
