Student Led Conferences (SLC) Next Week, Design Families!

Design Families!

Next week is SLC week at Da Vinci Design March 2nd-5th, and we are excited to have you on campus with us! SLCs are an important time when parents and teachers come together for a meeting led by the student. It is a time to highlight a student’s strengths and hard work, to encourage students to set new goals, and to ask guiding questions so students can take ownership of their learning. Every student is expected to participate in leading an SLC with a parent/guardian present this semester. SLCs will happen in-person.See below for SLC schedules and details presented by each grade level teaching team.

Reminders for families arriving for SLCs:

  • Families can find parking anywhere in the lot north of 201 N. Douglas St.
  • Please check-in on the 1st floor upon arriving to get a name tag and find which classroom to report to
  • Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time to allow time to check-in

Support DVD and The Cupid Project

The Cupid Project was born out of a deep-rooted passion for helping others and making a difference. Their mission is to inspire a more empathetic and service oriented society. The Cupid Project has an unwavering commitment to combatting loneliness and fostering community connections. Their annual card-giving project has become a beacon of love, inspiring individuals and communities worldwide. And DVD wants to support this. Therefore, DVD will be making Valentine’s Day Cards and dropping them off at various assisted living places and nursing homes. Our students will have opportunities to make cards the week of February 9th. We will then drop them off at the end of the week. Our school is asking for donations/supplies for this project. We are collecting stickers, construction paper, scissors, glue, glitter pens, heart cut outs, and any other Valentine’s Day themed art supplies. Donations can be dropped off in the main office of the 1st floor. We thank you so much! For more information please visit www.thecupidproject.org or their Instagram @thecupidproject
