-Parking: Starting November 1, the Davis Police Department will be ticketing drivers who park in the campus staff spaces without a current staff placard. Please also be mindful of signs that indicate no loading or unloading or right turn only as drivers can be ticketed at any time for these moving violations.

So, please make sure to check the space before you pull in to make sure it is not a "staff only" space as some of these will be changed.
The DHS Blue and White Foundation is now accepting applications for the Student Activity Grant Program. The goal of the program is to enhance the high school experience for any current DHS student. Any DHS student may apply for funding to support curricular or extra-curricular activities during their sophomore, junior or senior year. Examples of activities that may be considered for funding include academic conferences, sports training camps, fine art workshops, tutoring, extracurricular school essentials (i.e. costuming, sports equipment, musical instruments), etc. Applications will be reviewed on a case-by- case basis and all grant awards will depend on the merit of the requests, the number of applicants and availability of funding. The Student Activity Grant Program is for individual students only; applications can be submitted online at www.dhsblueandwhite.org<http://www.dhsblueandwhite.org>. Deadline for submissions is October 31st, 2012. Questions? Contact Cathe Richardson at crichardson at ucdavis.edu<mailto:crichardson at ucdavis.edu>.
