Happy Sunday, DVC Families! We have a great week ahead of us with several opportunities for parents/guardians to get involved with our school, from our Parent Advisory Committee meeting tomorrow at 4:30pm to our Financial Aid Night for families of seniors on Tuesday. Please see details about these events and some other upcoming events below.
Parent Advisory Committee: All are welcome to attend our Parent Advisory Committee on Monday, 1/29 at 4:30pm in person (1st floor, Mona Lisa Room) or via this zoom link. Please see below for the agenda:
Seminars: If a student would like to request a seminar change, they will have until Monday, January 29th at 11:59pm to do so via the Schedule Change Request Form (linked here). Please note that students must attend the seminars they are enrolled in until they receive a new schedule from their counselor that informs them of a schedule change. Schedules will be changed throughout the week, and all schedule changes will be completed by Wednesday, February 7th.
Da Vinci Schools Financial Aid Night: DV counselors are hosting a hands on FAFSA/Dream Act workshop on the 201 campus, where an El Camino College financial aid rep will be here to answer your financial aid/FAFSA/CA Dream Act questions, help you fill out the applications, and submit that night! This is taking place on the DVS floor on Tuesday January 30th, 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. Please RSVP HERE so we know how many computers will be needed.*
Blood Drive: On Monday, February 12th, the DVC National Honor Society is proud to pay it forward and strengthen our community by helping to save lives. We are partnering with the American Red Cross to hold a blood drive, and we need your help to make it a success. We invite you to join us.

Dear DVC Families,
I write to you this evening to thank you for your continued support through last week, which was a difficult time for our entire school community. We want you to know that we are committed to ensuring that DVC remains a positive and inclusive place for all students and staff as we cherish the beauty of our school’s diversity.
In order to continue to work in partnership with our families, we will be starting “Coffee with the Principals” this semester, and we will hold this session both in person and on zoom on the first Monday of each month. This will be a chance for school leadership to share brief school updates and hold space for parents and guardians to ask questions and share feedback. All meetings will occur twice, once in-person at DVC at 9am (coffee provided) and once virtually via zoom (link here) at 4pm (make your own coffee). The dates are as follows:
We look forward to our continued partnership in service to the students of DVC,
Erin D’Souza, Principal
