Week 15
We hope all DVS families had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! We look forward to seeing students back at school tomorrow, Monday, 11/27. We hope to finish the semester strong with only four weeks left!
In case you missed the post from before the break, here is a repost for Week 15 announcements and schedule:
- Progress Reports: Progress reports were mailed out this week via snail mail. The mailing included MAP (9th-11th grade), SBAC (12th grade), PSAT (9th-11th grade), and SAT (12th grade) score reports.
- Please continue to reference Canvas for all coursework and grading information.
- Student and Parent/Guardian Canvas Link: https://davincischools.instructure.com
- Additional Canvas resources are available at the bottom of the Academics page on our blog.
- Students can also access their PSAT and SAT scores through their College Board account at this link. Here are additional resources to understand PSAT and SAT scores:
- 9th Grade CHYA Presentations: Dr. Emily Green and Nurse Titsyana Lucero will be presenting the health & sexual education curriculum (“CHYA”, or “California Healthy Youth Act”) to freshmen during 9th-grade physics classes on Monday-Wednesday, December 4th-6th. Click this link to read the notification letter from Dr. Green. If you have any questions about the content that will be covered, please email Dr. Green at egreen@davincischools.org. Parents have the right to “opt-out” of this presentation for their child; if you wish to do so, please email Saya Wai, DVS Assistant Principal, at swai@davincischools.org.
- Physics Project Exhibition: Dr. Jamie Taube’s 9th-grade physics classes would like to extend an invitation to their El Segundo Physics Network Science of Sports Exhibition to the DVS community! This in-school project exhibition will be on Thursday, November 30th (9:15-11:55am) and Friday, December 1st (9:15-11:55am). Get ready to learn how understanding forces, motion graphs, acceleration, free fall, and energy transfers can optimize the performance of athletes and teams. Please RSVP using this link. All community members are welcome to attend, so feel free to extend the invite to family and friends. If you have a 9th-grade DVS student, please ask them which physics period they are in before signing up.
