Back to School Information -- LOWER SCHOOL

Please log in to the PowerSchool Student Information System Parent Portal and update the Student Demographics information located at the bottom left of the Navigation menu. Review and make any needed changes to your family's addresses, phone numbers (if you would like to receive text message alerts from DVFriends, you must list a cell phone number), email addresses, and emergency contacts. You must provide an emergency contact who is not a parent/guardian. 

New families, you will receive an email from Tracy Seggern with information about how to log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal once you have been entered by the school into the system.

DVFriends needs your student’s completed physical and immunizations form before they return to campus. Magnus Health sent out a welcome email to new families as they enroll and are entered into the system. Returning families can use their existing login to access and upload completed forms. For your convenience, we have included a link to the physical and immunizations form below. Please upload to Magnus when completed or send by email to Chris Bedard, School Nurse. Please do not send paper forms to school. Health forms are due by August 15, 2022.

DVFriends partners with Brock as our food service provider, offering a number of options for daily student lunches. Families can add funds to their account online or they will be able to send in cash with their student to be added to their account. (Note, Brock will not be able to make change, but they can add any change amount to a student’s online account.) Families will be able to preorder lunches or students will be able to purchase food without preordering it beforehand. New families will receive individual emails with instructions for establishing their student's account and the student ID and verification codes that they will need to complete this process. Returning families can access their payment account at   https://dvfriends.revtrak.net and preorder lunch at myschoolaccount.com. To encourage families to make use of the online payment option rather than sending cash or checks with students, there will be no processing fees for payment by credit card or ACH.  

We're looking forward to another great school year at DVFriends! Please join us for this favorite end-of-summer tradition. For families just joining us, this is an outdoor barbecue that is free to attend for DVFriends students and their families. Meet your student's advisor, collect important back-to-school information, and then dig into a tasty barbecue dinner!

NOTE: Please bring chairs or blankets for seating.
