Happy Friday, DVC Family!

As we get ready to launch another school year, we want your feedback on teachers’ project ideas.  We’re inviting students, parents, professionals and other stakeholders to DVC on Tuesday, August 10th from 9am-10:30am to help teachers plan for the upcoming school year.

At this event, DVC stakeholders will hear “Project Pitches” from teachers and then provide feedback that makes the projects better, more real-world, and more culturally responsive.  Nothing you need to do to prepare in advance; just sign up and share with your networks. Students will learn more effectively because of your contributions ☺ See more details below.

We are gearing up our first day of school on Monday, August 16th. Here is a link to the school calendar for the year: tinyurl.com/DVCyear9calendar.

We know that you may have lots of questions prior to the start of school, so we have set up an informational webinar on Wednesday, August 11th at 5:30pm for all families.

Dear Class of 2022 Families,

We are excited to announce that we have set up dates with our photographer for seniors to take their Cap & Gown photos! You can sign up for your slot now at this Signup Genius link on a first-come, first-serve basis: tinyurl.com/DVCclass2022capgown

Caps & gowns will be provided at the photo appointment, and Da Vinci Schools is covering the cost of the “sitting fee” so families only need to pay for photos if they wish to purchase them after seeing them.

Spaces will go quickly, so we encourage all seniors to sign up for their slot as soon as possible!

Sincerely,

Erin D’Souza

Principal
