End of Year Car Parade Wed, May 27, 2020

To all DVS families... The end of the school year approaches and as promised we will be conducting another car parade. Next week is the final week for this tumultuous school year. The car parade is an event to bring the DVS community together one more time in a socially distancing world.

It is time for us to see the students again. We have missed them all so much. Students, this is a chance to say goodbye to your teachers. Families, this can be a sad time of the year but a car parade can be so uplifting for everyone. The staff wants desperately to see our children.

The weather is predicted to be outstanding. Please come out and cheer and wave!! The staff at DVS will be doing the same.

We will leave DVS at 3:15pm which was close to the time we left last time. The parade took almost 3 hours last time. Stay tuned to the DVS PTA Facebook page for updates as the parade winds its way through the streets of Derry. During the last parade families updated the journey of the parade.

Here is the car parade route. There are a few versions included. (1) An Overview, (2) The parade divided into North and South, (3) A Turn by turn script, (4) A selection of more detailed maps.

This is a very ambitious route. We have no idea how long it will take us to complete. But with social distancing and staying at home what else are we doing? Just know that we are on the way to see you.

Some reminders:

  1. The numbers on the map are mile markers and give you an idea of the route.
  2. Please recognize that the parade route does not include every street. You may have to make your way to the closest intersection.
  3. The parade begins from DVS at 3:15pm. Please be patient as we make our way to your neighborhood.
  4. If you are outside, please practice safe distancing of at least 6 feet.
