Week 9 Schedule

by

Thank you for making time for Student-Led Conferences last week! Our staff really enjoyed connecting with you in-person or virtually. We have 9 more weeks left in Semester 1, and grades earned at the close of the semester (December 21st) will be recorded on the student’s high school transcript. For an overview of the school year as well as the details of the weekly schedules, please use these links: 

Week 9 is a short but fun week! There is no school on Friday, October 13th due to Professional Development, and there is a school dance (Phantom Formal) in the evening – see details below. There is a field trip to Occidental College and La Verne on Tuesday, 10/10, and we are also excited for the culmination of Latin American Heritage Month with our celebratory CD on Thursday, 10/12.

Kaiser Presentation: Our 9th graders are scheduled to see a production focused on mental health and resilience put on by Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre on Tuesday, 10/10. For more information, please see this link.

School Dance: Phantom Formal will be held Friday, October 13th! The event will be with all DV Schools and will take place on campus. 6:00-9:00pm. Tickets can be purchased through My School Bucks here.

School Survey: You likely received an email from “Kelvin Education” that asked you to complete a survey about your experience with “Da Vinci Connect Schools.” This is legitimate communication from Da Vinci Schools. We are using a new service for survey feedback called “Kelvin Education,” and it was a mistake that the title asked for feedback regarding “Da Vinci Connect Schools” when we are indeed asking for feedback regarding your experience at Da Vinci Communications. Please take the survey as your feedback is important to us!

Here’s what’s coming up:

  • Tuesday, 10/10: College Trip to University of La Verne & Occidental (selected 11th & 12th graders)
  • Tuesday, 10/10: Kaiser Educational Theater Play on Mental Health & Resilience (9th grade)
