Hi DVC Families,

Next week is the start of our seminars! We have one additional seminar, Archery, that is also available to students, but it was not on the survey. Please email me at edsouza@davincischools.org if you’d like to enroll in the Archery seminar. Here is the description: In this seminar, you will learn Olympic Recurve Archery. We cover all the fundamentals of archery form, technique, safety and how to care for equipment, but best of all have fun.

We also have student picture days on Wednesday, 9/4 and Thursday, 9/5. Students will get their picture taken on the day in which they have English class. This picture will be available to you for purchase. It is also the picture we will use to make students’ ID cards.

I had made a previous post regarding an opportunity to participate in a Northrop Grumman Internship Program. This is open to 11th and 12th graders in the Computer Science Pathway at DVC. The meeting will take place in the common space on the DVC floor at 8:30am on Friday, 9/6. Please RSVP at this link if you plan to attend: Northrop Grumman Internship Link

Hi DVC Families,

This message is intended for 11th and 12th grade students in the Computer Science Pathway at DVC. If you’re a guardian of one of those students, please talk to them about this terrific opportunity. There is an informational meeting scheduled for Friday, September 6th at 8:30am. Below is a summary of the opportunity:

DVC students in the Computer Science Pathway have an opportunity to work toward earning a paid summer internship with Northrop Grumman during the summer after their senior year and beyond! In order to do this, 11th and 12th grade students would participate in monthly featured presentations and conference calls after school coordinated and led by Northrop Grumman employees. 12th grade students would also participate in mentoring sessions with Northrop Grumman employees on Friday mornings (8:00am start time). Successful completion of the program would allow 12th grade students to secure a paid summer internship in the summer before college, and successful completion of that internship would enable to student to return for another paid summer internship the following year. This is a great opportunity to get real-world work experience with one of our local partners! Please consider attending the meeting to learn more information. Students are encouraged to come to the meeting with questions!

Sincerely,

Erin D’Souza
