Da Vinci Science

We had another busy, yet great week at DVS. It was great to see some parents during office hours this week. It was also great to meet with our Student Cohesion Team- our students are very insightful and I always enjoy seeing their learning in action.

Week 9’s schedule is a bit different. It is a short week for students! Due to two Professional Development days, there will be no school on Thursday and Friday. 

• PSAT/SAT Day: Testing day is Wednesday, 10/12. It will be a long day of testing and our lunchtime will be pushed back to 1:15 pm. We would like to remind students to get a good night of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and bring water, a scientific calculator, and healthy snacks. If you are able and interested, we would greatly appreciate any healthy snack donations for students for testing day. If you would like, please drop off healthy snack donations to the front office (granola bars, energy bars, easy-to-eat fruits, etc.) before Oct. 12th. Thank you!
