ACT Information

If you are eligible for free/reduced lunch, your college counselor can provide you with a fee waiver which enables you to take the ACT for free. Counselors are in the DVD office beginning 8/5, but you must email them to make arrangements to receive a fee waiver in order to meet the deadline!
Register now for the ACT test
Registration Deadline: August 7


Test Date: September 12

September is a great time for students to take the ACT®.
The ACT is the only college entrance exam with a September test date, offering the earliest testing opportunity for the school year. For seniors, this opens a window to retest in October, if necessary, and still receive scores in time for college admissions, financial aid, and scholarships.

Re-enrollment Info and Clarification

Hello Designers.  We are sorry the re-enrollment process had errors – it seems there was something wrong with our online system.  Don’t worry about it – you will definitely stay enrolled, but you need a different code that we mailed out today.  New letters with corrected PIN numbers were mailed out today. You should receive them by Wednesday or Thursday. You will then be able to update your emergency contact info and complete the online meal application.

The online link will be reactivated later today so families can complete the process, but I wouldn’t use it until you get a new letter later this week. The link to re-enroll is:

https://davincischools.org/enroll/cenroll.php

We will keep the online link open until August 18 so everyone can complete the continuing enrollment process.

Thanks, and I hope you are having a great summer!
