We celebrated our Class of 2024 with our College and Career Signing Day! All our seniors were congratulated on their next steps (college, career, military, or gap year) and we are very proud of them. The Class of 2024 earned acceptance to 122 colleges and universities – check out the list here! You can see content from our parade on Instagram @dvchighschool, and you can check out some awesome pics below!

Staff & Teacher Appreciation Week starts on Monday! Special thanks to the parents who are volunteering to help this week (and who have been coordinating the effort), and thank you to everyone who donated to the cause. If you haven’t had a chance to write any notes of appreciation to staff members, please WRITE NOTES HERE – it’s free and easy and so appreciated!

POLs and Finals: Students will be getting information about expectations for POLs and/or Final Exams in all classes this week so that students have ample time to prepare for these important end of year assessments. POLs and Finals begin on Tuesday, May 28th. Students will have a 2pm dismissal from Tuesday, May 28th until the last day of school, Wednesday, June 5th.

Spring Survey: Your feedback is important to us! It is time for our spring family and student surveys. You should have received 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. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete the survey. We appreciate your time and your thoughts!
