ATLAS – Upcoming Trip Information Meeting – February 10th

ATLAS is on the move again! We have three awesome trips lined up and have plenty of room for more students. This summer we’ll be heading to Peru for a service-learning trip where we’ll learn about art and culture. In December, we’ll travel to Dublin, London, and Paris where we’ll learn about the development of Western Europe’s finest capitals. The next stop will be Athens, Florence, and Rome where we’ll explore the architectural breakthroughs of the Renaissance.

If you’d like to learn more about these trips and reserve your first-come, first-serve spot, join us at our next information meeting!

When: Wednesday, February 10 @ 6:15 pm

Where: DVD in Room 105 (Korey’s room)

Important! Senior Updates!

Da Vinci Design Senior Parents and Guardians,

Senior projects will be kicking off after Spring Break, and the senior team wanted to inform you of upcoming dates, deadlines, and requirements to participate in the projects. Senior projects are an assignment that students plan and implement themselves and this results in a different schedule for seniors during this time period. We welcome and encourage you all to attend the parent info. night which is going to be held next Tuesday Feb. 2nd at 5:30 pm in Stoll’s room 403. There will also be a question and answer period during this meeting. Your student was given a “proposal packet” with a parent letter that should be returned by Feb. 19th.

FAFSA Workshop Night, tomorrow Jan. 27, 5:30pm-7pm in 10th grade art teacher Patrick’s computer lab Room 208. Computers are limited, so get there on time! Don’t worry, there is another FAFSA workshop on Wed. Feb. 24 if you can’t make it tomorrow.

Cal Grant forms are due back to your counselor by this Friday Jan. 29. They were handed out last week. If you lost your form, please print out one of the attachments.
