Week 9 is Spirit Week at DVD! And SLC Info
Greetings Designers and Design Families!
Next week, it’s Spirit Week! In honor of our first dance of the school year, the Phantom Formal, we are having special dress days all next week to build the hype. Tickets for the dance are $25, and are available on MySchoolBucks. Click here for the link to purchase tickets to the DV Fall dance: Phantom Formal! Sign in using your PowerSchool login information.
We are looking forward to a short but packed week! We are preparing for the PSAT Test Day on Thursday, 10/12. Friday there is no school due to staff professional development.
We are also getting ready for Student Led Conferences (aka: SLCs) the following week (10/16-10/19)! Every student is expected to participate in an SLC presentation with a family member and a teacher. SLCs will happen on campus unless a Zoom meeting is requested. See below for SLC schedules and details.
Important Reminder from the DV Health Team: Key Facts about Influenza
Flu season is here! Our school health team, Dr. Green and Nurse T, want to remind you how to keep your child and others healthy. See the letter to families linked here and above. The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. If your child is diagnosed with Influenza, please let your school health team know as we track clusters and outbreaks. All COVID cases must be reported to the school health team. To reach our Director of Health Services, email Dr. Emily Green at egreen@davincischools.org with questions or health updates regarding your child.
Lastly, thank you to all of our parents who joined us for our Coffee with Admin session on Wednesday, October 4th! You can find the slides of what we covered here:
Our next Coffee with Admin session will be on November 1st, Wednesday.
