Da Vinci Communications

Here are some important week 3 updates for DVC for the week of 9/5-9/8.

Seminars start Wednesday. If you are an 11^th or 12^th grader and are interested in taking a free college course, there is still room in the El Camino Ethnic Studies 101 course on Mondays and Wednesdays. The course meets on the DVC campus from 3:00-5:15. Please see your college counselor or Dr. Weatherford ASAP! This is a transferable college course that meets general education undergraduate requirements, and looks great on your college application!

See You Tuesday!

The 2017-2018 school year at DVC has arrived! Our first day of school is Tuesday, August 22nd. Please take note that school starts this year at 8:50. Please take a minute to read a few important notes and links for you below about Da Vinci Communications this year. 

Pick Up and Drop Off: The safest and most efficient way to drop off and pick up your students is at the very front of the school on Isis Ave. Driving into the parking lot creates a lot of traffic and potential safety issues as the parking lot is the main exit and entrance for DVC students. Students should head to the back of the parking lot after being dropped off at the front of the school on Isis.  Please help us be good neighbors by carpooling whenever possible! Traffic letter can be found here.

First Day Info: Tuesday morning students will find rosters with their Advisory Teachers name listed. We will open the gates at 8:50 and welcome students in and they will find their advisory teachers, who will distribute their class schedules to them in Advisory that morning. School ends each day at 3:45. Please arrange to pick up your student at the front of the school on Isis.

Fall Sports at DVC: Please see the announcement from the Da Vinci Athletic Director about Fall Sports Opportunities here.

Juniors and seniors college classes: We have partnered with West Los Angeles and El Camino Community Colleges to offer college courses on campus this fall. Please see the announcement for details. This is a terrific way to get college credit for free, and boost your college application! More info here.

 

We can’t wait for the school year to start, see you all Tuesday!

Dr. Scott Weatherford
