Your students continue to do terrific work at DVS! Last weekend our students in Youth & Government participated in the model court & legislature in Sacramento, and the FRC robotics team is in full swing preparing for the LA regional tournament that will be hosted here at Da Vinci on March 6-7!

Next week will be on a regular schedule, with details available by clicking on this document: DVS week 24 schedule (S11) Student-led conferences will be taking place in 3 weeks (March 9-12), and signups for SLC time slots will be posted on Monday 2/24.

Group Counseling Opportunity –  Topic: Transitions to Adulthood

The idea of “adulting” is both exhilarating and terrifying. Some students will be leaving home for the first time and going to college. Others may want to work and live on their own. Becoming an adult is going to happen whether there is a plan or not and we know things don’t always go according to plan. Participating in a group to talk through the transition to adulthood can help facilitate learning how to cope with these future transitions.

Details: Pepperdine therapist interns will facilitate this semester’s counseling group focused on transitions that 11th and 12th graders may face such as peer pressure, identity exploration, professional development, and future personal aspirations. The group will begin on February 24 and meet for six weeks on Mondays during seminar in the Mirzakhani Room.

If interested:

• Get the parental consent form signed to participate in group counseling. Students who are 18 do not need parental consent but are encouraged to speak with their parents. Pepperdine, Parental Consent for Group Based Counseling Services
• Turn the form in to your counselor by February 18.

On Wednesday night at 5:00pm, our college counselors will be hosting a college information night for 10th grade families in the multipurpose room – we encourage all 10th grade families to come and learn this important information and ask your questions about preparing for college!
