A few groups of offers have already been extended, and additional rounds of acceptance notifications may potentially be shared in the coming weeks as evaluations are finalized. Looking ahead, additional tryouts may be scheduled, depending on how many families accept or decline current offers. We will communicate directly with families that have already shared interest should further tryout opportunities become available. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and commitment families and students have shown throughout this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete evaluations and finalize placements for next school year.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at <a href=\"mailto:sportsacademy@dusd.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sportsacademy@dusd.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|13px|0px|false|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3097&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;24.5469px|0px|0|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span><strong>Home of the Spartans<\/strong> | Read, Lead, Succeed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big news!
