We are collecting meal applications from every single family regardless of whether you think you may qualify.  We urge you to complete a meal application by Oct. 1 to help us maximize funding for all Da Vinci students.  

As you may have heard, California and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture have extended FREE meals for all children 18 & under through December 31, 2020 due to COVID-19. So, you may ask yourself:

Why Should I Fill Out a Meal Application?

  • Free/Reduced Price Meals for the Entire 2020-21 School Year – Free meals end on December 31, 2020. Apply by Oct. 1 to receive free or reduced price meals for the remainder of the school year and to be entered into the raffle. Please apply even if you’re unsure if you’re eligible. Help us maximize funding for all Da Vinci students! 
  • College Application and SAT/ACT Fee Waivers – Students receiving free or reduced price meals receive Common App and SAT/ACT fee waivers, saving your family potentially hundreds of dollars!
  • The Chance to Win Prizes! – Complete a meal application by Oct. 1 and you will be entered into a raffle to win one of 7 Portable Bluetooth Speakers and 7 24” Gaming Monitors. Families who have already submitted their application or have been directly certified will be automatically entered.  
  • Grant Eligibility – Many funders determine eligibility based on the percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced price meals. Help us qualify for more grants by completing an application today!   

There are several ways to complete a meal application (choose one): 

  1. Apply online at www.mymealtime.com  
    • Here is a YouTube video to help guide you: https://youtu.be/PoDQUcJfAos

Week 5, Here We Come!

September 13, 2020 by Erin D'Souza

Happy Sunday, DVC Community,

It’s hard to believe we’ve already finished 4 weeks of instruction! This week, the schedule is a bit different because Friday is a professional development day for staff with no classes for students. Even though it’s a short week, there is much happening! Please go to tinyurl.com/dvcwebsite for all the links and the latest. You can also read the details below.

Honors Kick-Off Presentations: We invite all students and parents/guardians to listen in to our 30-minute honors kick-off meetings this week. At DVC, it is really important to us that all students have the opportunity to earn honors in their classes and that this honors distinction is not pre-determined by their class schedule. Please tune in to these short, informational meetings this week:

  • Tuesday, 9/15 @ 1pm (9th Grade): Zoom link
  • Wednesday, 9/16 @ 1pm (10th Grade): Zoom link
  • Thursday, 9/17 @ 1pm (11th & 12th Grades): Zoom link

Make-Up Picture Day on Friday, 9/18: If you have yet to take your school picture this year (or if you’d like a re-take), please plan to come to 201 N. Douglas St. between 8:30am and 12 noon this Friday. Please let us know you’re coming by RSVPing at this link: Make-Up Picture Day RSVP Link

School Pictures: Your students’ photos are now available for viewing & purchase! Simply click on this link to view. Students’ photos are listed in the folder of their Connections teacher, and you can purchase prints or the digital download. Details regarding pricing on this flyer: Da Vinci Picture Day Pricing Information

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy week ahead.

Sincerely,

Erin
