Week 12 Schedule

November 2, 2024 by Erin D'Souza

Our Advisory Mascot Parade and all the costumes on Halloween finished off a really fun week at DVC! Thanks to all the students and staff who participated!

Community Learning Day #2: Friday, November 8th is our 2nd CLD! Here is the list of workshops offered on CLD #2. Students submitted their workshop request through this CLD #2 Survey last week. ALL students (whether you are on campus or at home) must fill out this Community Learning Day Attendance Form to receive attendance credit. 

Progress Reports: The end of the semester is fast approaching, and the grades students earn in December will be the grades that appear on students’ high school transcript. Progress reports are being mailed home on Friday, 11/8. The purpose of progress reports is to give families a snapshot of student course grades, and to be the starting point for a conversation at home about how to stay successful in school in these final weeks of the semester. Please follow up with your student’s teachers directly with any questions about assignments or grades.

Fall Survey: Your feedback is critical to our continued growth as a school! Next week, you will receive an email from a survey app called Kelvin. This is not spam! Please follow the prompt to complete an online survey from Kelvin to share your feedback on Da Vinci Communications. We appreciate your time and your feedback!

Exhibition Night – Save the Date: Please save the date for our biggest celebration of student projects of the year – Exhibition Night! We invite all families, friends, and community members to join us on Wednesday, 11/20 from 5:30 – 7:00pm for our best night of the year. All DVC students are required to attend; students in grades 9 & 11 will have their projects on display.

Parent Advisory Committee (PAC): The Parent Advisory Committee is an opportunity for parents, students, & staff to work collaboratively to:

  • review the school program,
  • review data and identify needs, &
  • make recommendations regarding the School Safety Plan & the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

If you are interested in participating in the Parent Advisory Committee, please complete this interest form. It is important that we have a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) that represents the demographics of our school. If you have any questions, please contact Erin D’Souza, Principal at edsouza@davincischools.org. 

Here’s what’s coming up THIS WEEK and beyond:

  • Wednesday, 11/6: 10th Grade College Field Trip (CSUF, UCI, & University of La Verne)
