We invite Da Vinci parents/guardians and community members to attend a Virtual Town Hall meeting on March 2nd at 6:30PM to solicit your feedback on the steps being taken for a phased-in return to campus between April 12th-June 9th. Join us! 

Virtual Town Hall for Families
March 2, 2021 | 6:30PM

Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/95743052884

Meeting ID: 957 4305 2884
1 (669) 900 6833

Speaking at the Virtual Town Hall on March 2nd will be Dr. Matthew Wunder, CEO/Superintendent; Dr. Jennifer Hawn, Chief Operating Officer; Dr. Emily Green, School Nurse; and Vicente Bravo, Chief Administrative Officer. 

We will provide an update on our COVID-19 safety plan, discuss timelines, solicit feedback from families, and answer as many questions as we can. The Town Hall will be recorded and posted on our website. Because a Town Hall via Zoom may make it challenging to respond to everyone’s questions, we will also provide a Padlet to capture your thoughts, and request that you complete a survey that will be sent out on
March 3. 

(Please note: The Town Hall can only accommodate 1,000 participants. If for some reason you are not able to get onto the call, you will have access to the recording, Padlet and survey to provide feedback. Thanks for your understanding.)

Please join us for a virtual Athletics Update & Information Meeting tonight (Thursday, February 25) at 5:30PM at this Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/96739097320 !

This meeting will include updated information, including:

+ Area Placement Change, Impact of Re-leaguing
+ What Spring 2021 (Season 2) will look like
+ Current CIF and L.A. County Department of Public Health Guidelines for Practices, Conditioning and Competition
+ Q&A

All students, families and community members are welcome. We look forward to seeing you!

This update will be recorded for future access. 

Happy Wednesday, DVC Families,

We are hosting a 10th grade book pick-up today at 201 N. Douglas St. from 12pm – 2pm. All 10th graders will need a copy of this book for their English 10 class, and we are happy to provide it for them.

Additionally, there are some 11th graders who might need to pick up books for English 11 Honors, and some 11th & 12th graders who might need books for their El Camino College Courses (Biology and Political Science books are ready). All are welcome and encouraged to come during this time to pick up needed books.

If you are unable to pick up the book today, please reach out to Nancy Banuelos (nbanuelos@davincischools.org) to make an appointment for a different day and time between 8am and 4pm. If you have any questions, please direct them to Jackie Martinez (jmartinez@davincischools.org).

Friendly Reminder: Windows down, masks up during the drive-through to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and ensure the safest environment possible.

Sincerely,

Erin
