Good Morning DVC Families,

Da Vinci is transitioning to a new system, MySchoolBucks, for student payments for events, activities, and other types of purchases.   Our upcoming Semi-Formal dance will use this system for payments.

We have a brief tutorial on how to sign up and use this system here:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OYTyVa-laUxc7Skx0Ty8QbVNYVF9iIop30-JPXNJfDM/edit?usp=sharing

Please reach out to Jackie Martinez (jmartinez@davincischools.org) with any additional questions you may have.

DVC, along with the other Da Vinci high schools, is excited for the upcoming Spring Semi-Formal!

• Date: Friday, March 11 from 6-9pm
• Location: Da Vinci West Plaza
• Cost: $15 (through MySchoolBucks)

Please see the attached flyer for additional info and the MySchoolBucks QR Code! A brief tutorial on the steps for creating and paying through My School Bucks is available here. Please contact Jackie Martinez at jmartinez@davincischools.org if you have any questions.

We are excited to be bringing back this event!!

FLYER – Under the Lanterns

We had a terrific Black History Month CD on Thursday, filled with excellent and inspiring student performances! Thank you to our Black Student Union (BSU) and BLK University for making it happen. If you have Instagram, please follow us @dvchighschool to check out a few video clips from the event.

Student-Led Conferences are coming soon! All conferences will be virtual (via Zoom) starting on Monday, March 7th. Conferences will be scheduled with your student’s advisory teacher. Students will be able to access the sign up link for their advisory teacher via google classroom, and we will also email out the link directly to families. Students are expected to prepare a presentation about their current academic progress, and a parent/guardian of the student is expected to attend the conference. Please stay tuned for more information!

This week, we have our School Site Council Meeting on Wednesday, 3/2 at 4:30pm via Zoom (link here). The agenda is as follows:

1. Public Comment
