Dear Families,
We are excited to announce that registration is now OPEN for the Young Mathematicians Summer Institute, facilitated by the UCLA Math Project. This engaging four-day or five-day workshop is designed for students in grades 9-12. Learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret data—a critical skill for success in college. Whether you’re writing research papers, conducting experiments, or evaluating information in other courses, a strong foundation in statistics will help you make sense of complex data, back up your ideas with evidence, and think critically. These skills are not only vital across many college majors but also prepare you for real-world decision-making and problem-solving in your future career.

From all of us at Da Vinci Communications, we wish you a wonderful summer break! We are proud of all our students and grateful for the support of our parents and guardians throughout the school year.
And as I wrap up my time as principal, I want to express my gratitude to all the parents, guardians, and students who’ve supported me over the past six years at DVC. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’ve felt so lucky to be part of this community. Your encouragement, kindness, and partnership have meant the world to me. I hope our paths cross again in the future as I will still be working with Da Vinci on a new program called LifeLaunch: Aviation & LifeLaunch: Healthcare that I hope many DVC students join! All the best to you and yours, today and always. -Erin D’Souza, Principal
