Dulles High School
Friday, October 5, 2018
Faculty and Staff,
Happy Friday! What another great week. Our Viking football team did an amazing job last night against undefeated Travis HS, but came up short 51-54. We are now 4-1...keep up the great work! We are so proud of our Viking players and coaches!
Above you will see a video (poor quality, but the sound is what counts) of our Varsity Choir singing Happy Birthday to one of our teachers. What a great new tradition for DHS. If you didn't sign up for this, please reach out to Mrs. Marrero. Her kiddos were awesome and Mr. Valdes loved it too!
Our band and dolls did very well on Tuesday night at the Fort Bend Band Night! Keep up the great work!
Don’t forget to support our Lady Vikings volleyball teams as they play tonight at Dulles vs. Travis. Games begin at 4:30!
As a reminder, our instructional focuses are:
- collaborative classrooms with accountable talk and visible learning for ALL students
- utilizing formative assessments and feedback to advance students along learning progressions
- Bottom line: How do you know what all your students know? What will you do with that knowledge to take them to the next level?
The Voyage Continues!
