Week 26 Preview

Happy Friday Designers and Design Families,

We wrapped up this week with a community dialogue celebrating the start of Women’s History Month! We celebrated with events like a performance from our cheer team and fun games, including a women’s history trivia game for our staff who got a face full of pie for wrong answers. All in good fun! See photos from our Women’s History Month CD below.

SLC week at Da Vinci Design is coming soon! 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 this semester. SLCs will happen in-person. SLC schedules and overviews below!

Here is the Bell Schedule for Week 26-27 at Da Vinci Design:

Student Led Conferences (SLCs): Grade Level Resources

Every student is expected to participate in leading an SLC this semester with a parent / guardian present. SLCs happen in-person and on campus. Having a family member present is an important part of the process. Thank you for doing your part and showing up for your child for their SLC!

Please see the letter to families here for more details about SLCs. This letter was sent home with progress reports, and has helpful reminders about SLCs for parents/guardians.

Schedule reminder: We have minimum days Mon-Thurs (3/11-3/14) during SLC week. Students will be released at 1:45pm. Friday (3/15) will be a Professional Development day for teachers and school will not be in session.
