Week 9 Preview: SLCs Oct. 14th-17th

Posted on by

Greetings Designers and Design Families,

We hope you all enjoyed the first Community Learning Day today! It was great having such fun activities happening on campus today – be it financial literacy workshops, knitting and crochet, manufacturing in the CTE lab, or exploring careers! For those of you who were not on campus today we hope you were able to have a nice and productive day catching up on work or engaging in a fun off-campus learning opportunity!
Don’t forget that in order to receive credit for their Community Learning Day, ALL students must complete the CLD Attendance Form .
Next week is also a spirit week in honor to Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month! Our Latinx Student Union (LSU) announced dress up days so that the entire school can celebrate Latinx culture, and next week will culminate in a community dialogue celebration hosted by LSU. See the spirit week flyer below!
Here is the Bell Schedule for Week 9 (SLC Week) at Da Vinci Design:

Next week is SLC week at Da Vinci Design October 14th-17th, 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
