Developing the Next Generation of Innovators

Family Bulletin

FAMILY BULLETIN

Your Weekly Update From DPA

Week Of July 24th, 2026

Dear Families,

We hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer! As we look ahead, we are thrilled to welcome back both new and returning students for what promises to be an incredible school year. We’re still celebrating the amazing achievement of our 12th grade seniors—100% of our seniors were accepted to two or more four-year universities!  The majority of those scholars started with us in 6th grade!

We can’t wait to build on this momentum with our incoming sixth graders and all of our students from grades 6–12. It’s going to be a fantastic year of learning, growth, and community.

For our new families, it is our goal to send out weekly communications to our families throughout the school year through this emailed family bulletin.  This is our first edition for the 26-27 school year!

Take a moment to watch the Senior Signing Day video as we reflect on a successful past school year!

We are excited to see our scholars back in the building soon!
