I am thrilled to share that we have a very special visitor on Monday morning: State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond! He will be visiting Mr. Christopher Jackson’s 12th Grade Financial Literacy class. State Superintendent Thurmond is choosing to visit DVC because our program is a model of the financial literacy education he hopes to see throughout California. We will be sure to share pictures of this special visit. If you don’t already follow @davincischools_org and @dvchighschool on Instagram, please start today!
There are just six weeks left of school before POLs (Presentations of Learning) begin. This is a great time to check grades and make plans for improvement (if needed) before the end of the semester. You can check grades on Canvas or PowerSchool, whichever is easiest for you. If you notice any discrepancies, please let the teacher know right away.
DECA Competition in Orlando, Florida: We have several students competing at the DECA International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida. They left on Friday and we wish them all the best in their competition. Seniors Eryn Allen and Hilda Donis qualified to compete in the Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan event (check out their project that won 3rd place at state here!) while juniors Alani Flores, Samantha Guevara and Karina Ruiz have been selected to attend the THRIVE Leadership Academy to build their leadership skills and learn how to take our DECA chapter to the next level. These students will be joining approximately 22,000 high school students, advisors, business professionals and alumni for several days of competition, networking, and fun! Check out @dvcdeca on Instagram to follow their adventures in Orlando! This is the first time that students from DVC have qualified for this competition, and we are so proud of them.
