Week 34 Schedule

May 7, 2022 by Erin D'Souza

Thank you so much for all the DVC families who decorated doors on Sunday, brought snacks throughout the week, and donated gift cards during Staff Appreciation Week! We felt well-celebrated this week, and we are grateful for your ongoing generosity and support. Please follow us @dvchighschool on Instagram to watch DVC staff competing in funny challenges for gift cards yesterday!

The DV Prom was last night and we enjoyed seeing our students dressed up in such fancy attire! We hope that everyone who attended had a fun and safe experience.

College Acceptances: Our seniors got accepted to 176 different colleges this year (check out the list here!) and we are thrilled to celebrate their accomplishments and commitments next week! Our counseling team has put together a Senior Spirit Week with a special College Signing Day on Wednesday, 5/11! Click the links for details.

Greetings DVC,

Da Vinci Communications will hosting a Senior Spirit Week  starting next week, May 9th-May 13th:

Monday:  All seniors wear purple

Tuesday:  Throwback (Dress up like you did your Freshman, Sophomore or Junior Year)

Wednesday: Rep your future (wear college, career or military gear)

Thursday: Dress up as your favorite teacher or someone who helped you get to where you are today

Friday: Inside Out Day (Dress as the emotions you are feeling about graduating or college)

On the Wednesday of our Senior Spirit week, we will be hosting a College Signing Day event to recognize students who plan to attend any college, university, community college, vocational or training program or to join the military after high school.

During our College Signing Day, Seniors will receive presentations from:

  • Financial Aid Office Representative who will talk about work-study opportunities, how to appeal financial aid offers and how to access scholarships.
  • Resident Director who will speak on how to obtain a Resident Advisor (RA) position.
  • Greek Fraternities and Sororities that will talk about why they joined their organization and how it has helped them thrive in college.

In addition, Seniors will also be “signing off” which college/career/military opportunity they will pursue after high school. We ask that all Seniors rep their future by wearing college, career or military gear on the day of the event.

Congratulations Class of 2022!

The Senior Class Counseling Team,

Ms. Artia Thomas
