Da Vinci Design

Picture Days are this week on Wednesday 9/13 and Thursday 9/14. Students will be taking their photo during their English class. See schedule below.

Updated Da Vinci Website

Our Da Vinci website can still be found at www.davincischools.org, but with many new features! We highly recommend you visit the “EVENTS” page and subscribe to Da Vinci Design’s calendar and any others that pertain to you! You can add the entire calendar, or add specific events only straight to your own personal calendar.

Wiseburn – Da Vinci Athletics Information

All Da Vinci Families with a student interested in playing sports at Wiseburn – Da Vinci in 2017-18 are encouraged to attend an informational meeting on Tuesday Sept 12^th in the Multi-Purpose Room at Dana Middle School.  The meeting will begin promptly at 6pm, and should last about an hour.  Families will learn:

• CIF Eligibility and how Da Vinci interprets the eligibility requirements,
• the tryout process,
• the Athletic Clearance process, including physicals and transportation to games,
• uniforms and equipment,
• the team store, and more.

The meeting is not mandatory, yet it will answer many of the questions we have received over the summer, and have you prepared for what to expect as your children begin their high school sports journey.

Back to School Night is on Thursday 9/7.  Doors open at 5:50 pm and the first “class” (Advisory) will start at 6:10 pm.  Please find out from your student who their advisory teacher is and what room number they are in! This is where you report first. Here you will receive your student’s schedule, and will follow it throughout the evening.

Please respect all parking signs, speed limits, etc. and work alongside our neighbors!

Attention DVD juniors and seniors – there are about 10 spots left in the Ethnic Studies College Course seminar between both DVD and DVC.  This class runs Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00-5:15.  First come, first served!

The class, offered via El Camino College, is UC transferrable and qualifies as one of many general education courses you’ll need to take, whether you go straight to a four-year university or are working on your IGETC in order to transfer. Taking this course will also make you more competitive as you apply to college this year or next,

Best of all, the course is FREE to Da Vinci students and it is held on our campus.

If you would like make the change and take this seminar, please connect with your counselor TOMORROW, Tuesday 9/5. Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity!

Our new Da Vinci website has launched at www.davincischools.org – check it out!

There are many new features suggested by Da Vinci families, staff, and other key stakeholders. One of the features we are most excited about is our new online event calendars that bring all Da Vinci and Wiseburn school calendars, as well as athletics and arts, into one central location. You can view and filter calendars, subscribe to them, add them to your personal calendar, forward to friends and family, and be notified of changes when they occur via text and/or email. Check out the Event Calendars here: http://www.davincischools.org/events/.

You can learn more about the web redesign project here: http://www.davincischools.org/new-year-new-look/

We invite you to explore our new website and let us know how we’re doing by emailing info@davincischools.org.

Week 3 is upon us, Designers!

Seminars will begin on Wednesday! All students signed up this week, so you should know what the classes are, but regardless you will receive a new schedule with room numbers for each class on Wednesday in advisory.

On Tuesday 9/5 after school in the Da Vinci Science forum, there will be an informational meeting if you are interested in joining the Da Vinci Robotics team.  The meeting begins at 4:00 (we know the walk may take a bit longer than that, so just get there as soon as you are able!).  Mr. Anderson, the 12th grade math teacher from DVD, is our site advisor.  Please see him in Room 404 with any questions!

Back to School Night is on Thursday 9/7.  Doors open at 5:50 pm and the first “class” (Advisory) will start at 6:10 pm.  Please find out from your student who their advisory teacher is and what room number they are in!
