Week 12 Updates for Families

Week 12

It was a very fun week at DVC! Our Spirit Week set the tone for a week of creativity and zaniness, ending with our annual Halloween CD and parade of Advisory mascots. Our 10th grade students also had the chance to visit Cal State Fullerton, Pepperdine University, and UC Irvine this week. We are looking forward to our CLD Day and Exhibition!

CLD Day

We have an upcoming Community Learning Day (CLD) on Monday, November 10th. All students should have received an email to sign-up on through the 11/10 CLD Workshop Request Form. Students may choose to learn from home or attend an on campus workshop. Here is the 11/10 CLD Workshop Descriptions.

Exhibition, November 19th

We are excited for our annual Fall Exhibition night on Wednesday, November 19th! This is our opportunity to show the wider community the projects and learning that we have done so far. We invite all families, friends, and community members to join us on Wednesday, 11/19 from 5:30 – 7:00pm for our best night of the year. All DVC students are required to attend, and all grade levels will have projects on display.

NHS Canned Food Drive @ Exhibition

The National Honor Society is conducting a food drive for those in need this holiday season. Please consider donating nonperishable item, if you are able, to this drive. We will have a bin at Exhibition for these items.

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 Monday, 11/10. 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! 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. We appreciate your time and your feedback!

Tutoring

Need a reboot after checking in about grades at SLCs? We are thrilled to offer free tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mr. Alex Rojas (from PJ Test Prep) from 3:35 – 4:30pm in Mr. Sandoval’s Room (3405). In addition, students from the National Honor Society tutor peers on Wednesdays from 2:30-3:30pm, also in room 3405. No sign up required!

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