Hello Designers!
It’s Spirit Week at Da Vinci Design! The themes are listed in the update below. Looking forward to a week full of school spirit and fun!
If your student brings his or her skateboard to school, he or she will be required to lockup the board starting Monday, November 4th. We have a lockup station ready to go. We simply ask that the student provides his or her own padlock. We have a limited number of $5 padlocks for sale in the Principal’s office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact kparsons@davincischools.org or manderson@davincischools.org.
As you may already know, our 10th and 11th grade students took the Preliminary SAT exam on Wednesday, October 16th. This exam is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT. It gives access to college and career planning tools and for 11th graders, a chance to enter scholarship programs.
The fee for this exam is $14 per student tested.
If you have not already paid, we ask that you send $14 with your student to pay Maria Beltran in our front office OR visit the following link and pay online: davincischools.org/collegepsat.shtml
If we have not received the payment or an email regarding the inability to pay, we plan to withhold the results of your student’s exam. For this reason, we ask that you send the $14 payment as soon as possible.
In addition, we hope to set up parent access on all student Naviance accounts. Naviance Family Connection is a comprehensive web-based resource designed especially for students and parents. Family Connection allows access to college information including college and major searches, scholarship searches, career tools and a resume builder. It is linked with college application data so that the counselors can electronically submit transcripts and recommendations directly to colleges for college admission applications.
To do this, we need your most current email address. Your son or daughter will bring home a letter regarding this topic on Monday. Please provide the required information and ask your student to return the form to their History teacher by Friday, November 1st.
Thank you for all of your support! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email Megan Anderson at manderson@davincischools.org.
