Welcome to Del Rey!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and explore all the valuable information it has to offer. We update it regularly, so be sure to check back often for the latest news and important updates about Del Rey and the Victor Elementary School District.

One of the most common questions I hear from parents is:
“How can I help my child be more successful in school?”

There are several powerful ways you can support your child’s success here at Del Rey:

• Get Involved: Attend our monthly “Donuts with Doug” meetings to stay informed about what’s happening at school and what’s coming up. These sessions are designed specifically for parents to ask questions, share ideas, and engage in open dialogue with school leadership.
• Join a Parent Group: Become a member of the Del Rey Booster Club and help organize fun and enriching events for students and families. Or, consider joining our School Site Council or English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) to contribute your voice to school decisions and priorities.
• Volunteer at School: Whether it's helping in the classroom or assisting at school events, your time makes a difference. Research shows that when parents are involved in school, student achievement improves. At Del Rey, we welcome parent volunteers every day. Volunteer training is held monthly following “Donuts with Doug” or can be arranged individually with our School Safety Coordinator.

We are honored to partner with you in your child’s education. At Del Rey, we believe there is no greater responsibility than shaping the minds of tomorrow. We take that role seriously and work each day to ensure every student finds success.

Del Rey is a great place to be — and a great place to learn.

Warm regards,
Doug Bergquist

Welcome to our Sixth Street Prep! 

At Sixth Street Prep School, we incorporate many strategies to encourage and challenge students to develop their full potential. Without a doubt, the success of SSPS is due to the dedication and devotion of our staff, students and families. The saying, “it takes a village” embodies our belief system at Sixth Street Prep School (SSPS).

All of our teachers collaborate with each other to determine and create programs, initiatives and curriculum to best meet the needs of our students. Our routinely monitored data and annual test scores drive our planning and instruction as we continue to see high levels of student success. Results on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) demonstrates that SSPS students are meeting or exceeding standards at a high rate. SSPS staff recognizes that students are more likely to be engaged and on-task when lessons offer real-life application for the learner.

As a result, lessons are designed to create powerful learning experiences that will motivate students towards high standards of achievement. Such learning experiences engage student curiosity, originality, and interpersonal relationships.

As a staff, we have unanimously agreed to extend the school day by 45 minutes, Mondays-Thursdays. This provides all students with an extra 180 educational minutes each week.

We also have several ways for our families to be involved with our campus including School Site Council (SSC), classroom volunteers, field trip chaperones, and English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC).

We look forward to partnering with you and helping your child(ren) be the best they can be!

Sincerely,

Welcome to West Palms!

Summer break is quickly coming to a close, and we are thrilled to welcome students back to campus! Our staff eagerly anticipates reconnecting with returning students and warmly welcoming those who are new to our West Palms family.

At West Palms Conservatory, we consistently reflect on our Vision, which guides everything we do:

“The vision of West Palms is to develop students who have the academic skills and social-emotional health to become confident, empowered, lifelong learners with an appreciation for the arts.”

To achieve this vision, our Mission clearly outlines how we plan to make it a reality:

“West Palms will develop students with the academic skills and social-emotional health needed to become confident, empowered, lifelong learners with an appreciation for the arts by providing rigorous academic instruction, purposeful and intensive interventions, and intentionally exposing students to diverse forms of visual and performing arts.”

As we launch the new school year, we remain dedicated to our mission. Our teaching staff will participate in a full day of professional development focused on enhancing vocabulary instruction to boost reading comprehension. Additionally, we will dedicate considerable attention to refining our literacy intervention strategies, ensuring we meet every student at their academic level and support their continued growth.

West Palms also remains committed to supporting our students’ social-emotional well-being. We are proud to continue our partnerships with community agencies such as DMCC/SLEPA and Inner Peace, along with our own in-house counseling services provided by our school psychologist. Also, teachers will place a strong emphasis on Social-Emotional Learning, ensuring every student starts the school year feeling secure, supported, and ready for success.

We are excited that Mr. Arvinger will once again offer Musical Theater classes twice weekly, with performances scheduled for Winter and/or Spring, depending on grade levels. Additionally, our elective classes—primarily focused on visual and performing arts—will be offered three times per week, Tuesday through Thursday, beginning on September 2nd. We are also excited to announce that our "Meet the Masters" program will feature the renowned artists Paul Klee, Gauguin, M.C. Escher, and Jacob Lawrence, whose styles students will explore and emulate through engaging art projects.

Your partnership remains vital as we work together to achieve our goals. Ensuring your child attends school regularly and punctually, supporting academic growth at home—such as encouraging daily reading—and reinforcing appropriate behavior are crucial ways you help propel our school forward. Truly, it takes the entire crew to sail this ship to success, and we are grateful for your indispensable role alongside the West Palms Conservatory staff.

Thank you for your continued support and trust—we look forward to an exceptional year ahead!

Kind regards,

Sean Redmond, Ed.D.

West Palms Conservatory
