First Day of School, Schedules
The first day of school is Tuesday, August 18th. Gates will open at 8:50am and school will begin at 9am like a normal Tuesday. Office hours will begin week 2 of school, so for the first week we will not be opening campus until 8:50am. Starting week 2 we will open the gates from 8:00am to 8:15am for students to come into office hours, then again at 8:50 for the start of the school day.
When school begins day 1, students will enter through the front office and head to their advisories. We will post students’ names on their advisory doors, and there will be teachers guiding students to their classes. Students will receive their schedules during their first advisory class on the first day of school.
Dress Code
Remember to follow dress code – collared shirts or Da Vinci shirts and appropriate pants or bottoms (no gym shorts or sweats).
Seminars
Seminars will begin on September 8. Students will all receive seminar descriptions during the second of school and they will also be posted to the blog families can discuss seminar options together.
Traffic and New DVC Office
- DVC now has a separate office accessible from the back parking lot by the field.
- At the beginning and end of the day (8am, 9am and 4pm) through either the front entrance used last year, or through the new entrance by the DVC office. You may still drop your student off in front of the school.
- DVC students arriving after 9am or being picked up before 4pm must enter or exit through the new DVC office. If you have school business during the day, you should come to the back parking lot and to the new DVC office.
- We are still looking for volunteers to help with traffic control during drop off and pick up. If you are able and interested, contact Thomas Curry: tcurry@davincischools.org
