Internships Available for Spring Semester

Juniors and Seniors: We have internships available at Susan G Komen and Habitat for Humanity available for the Spring semester! These internships would take the place of your pathway course, and would require you to provide your own transportation. If you are interested, applications are due December 12^th to Natasha by email at nmorse@davincischools.org. Check out the details below.

December Schedules

December has some strange school hours. POL schedules run for 6 school days: December 7th through December 14th. During POLs most students are only in school from 8:00am to 12:00pm, some students come only in the afternoons, and students with incompletes must stay in the afternoons to work on bringing up their grades.

College Course Offerings

Juniors and seniors (and even sophomores with Nathan’s approval): We will be starting our enrollment into spring semester college courses when we get back from thanksgiving break. Take a look at the options here – registration details will be coming in December!

Exhibition Parking in the Big 5 Lot

Families, we are excited to welcome all of you to tonight’s exhibition! We also know parking will be very tough around school and in the neighborhood, so we encourage you to check the Big 5 parking lot (at the corner of El Segundo and Isis, accessible from both streets) for space. The lot is empty in the evenings, and should help alleviate neighborhood congestion as well. Our school parking lots will likely be full well before 6pm, so we recommend expecting to walk a block or two this evening.

Remember to enter through the back gate, or if you do enter through the front to skip any line – that is for DV Design paperwork, not DVC.

Exhibition Booklet

Take a look at our Exhibition Booklet to see a preview of what you will be seeing tonight, as well as important upcoming dates.
