Here’s a terrific way for you to get involved at Da Vinci!

We are always looking to expand our database of real-world connections for our teachers to draw from as they design their projects. If you would be willing to be available as a resource in any area in which you have experience/expertise, we would appreciate it if you would go to the link below and add your name to our experts database so that our teachers may contact you. (It may be as a guest speaker, a connection for a field trip opportunity, or to answer questions and point to resources about the field so that our projects and information are current, relevant and engaging.) We thank you!!

Dear Da Vinci Communications Families,

Today at 11:55am at the request of the LA County Sheriff Southern California station, Da Vinci Communications and Da Vinci Design were put on lockdown due to a home burglary west of our location. At 12:15pm, the LA County Sheriff informed us that the suspect was in custody, and that the lockdown was no longer in effect.  The lockdown was precautionary, as there was never a threat or person on campus who posed a danger to our students. The day will continue as normally scheduled for today.
