Week 27 Schedule
We hope all students enjoyed PD day today. Last week, the DV Visual and Performing Arts team had their last musical performance of GREASE. The students worked so hard on this performance and did a spectacular job showcasing their dedication and talents. We are so proud of all of our performers!
Da Vinci is hosting FRC LA Regionals this weekend, 3/15-3/16. We are excited and consider it an honor to host this event and welcome schools from local communities across the country and worldwide. All are welcome to join the fun and cheer on the Robotics team or watch virtually at this link: FIRSTinspires2 – Twitch. Go Vitruvian Bots!
This upcoming week is SLC week. We are looking forward to seeing families and engaging in reflective, meaningful conversations with students, parents, and teachers. SLCs are required as they are essential to the collaborative efforts to ensure each student’s achievement and success.
