Week 14 Schedule

This Week’s Announcements
- CLD Attendance 11/10- We hope students had a productive CLD Day on 11/10. A reminder that all students, whether learning they learned from home or attended an on-campus workshop, need to take the “Quiz” on their Canvas page to receive attendance credit. Students who do not complete the quiz will be marked absent.
- Career Speakers for POL Week– Seeking Career Guest Speakers! Do you have a career that you would love to share with our students? During POL week, we have Extended Learning Rooms for students who are not in POL session. The purpose of ELRs is to provide educational opportunities we may not otherwise have during a regular school day. Many of our students are still exploring the various career options available. Having parents or guest speakers share their experiences would provide our students with exposure to multiple careers. If you are interested or available during POL week, Monday, December 15, to Thursday, December 18, for a 20–30 minute time block, please let us know by filling out this POL Week Career Guest Interest Form. We will reach out to you for more details. Thank you!
- College and Career: The Class of 2026 is in the thick of college application season. A reminder: UC and CSU applications are due December 1st. It’s time for students to “lock-in” and finish those applications. Please contact Mr. Perez, CCL teacher, rperez@davincischools.org, or Ms. Marquez College & Career Counselor, fmarquez@davincischools.org, for questions or additional information needed for college applications or FAFSA.
