From Your Administrative Team

Greetings Families,


We can't wait to see you at our Parent Educator Conference AND the Multi-Cultural Fair this Wednesday! Our staff and our FAN planning committees have been working hard to bring these events to life, and we are so excited to share them with you! Thanks to everyone who is facilitating, organizing, and planning to attend/participate!


We also have had several families inquire about how to add themselves to the Family Directory. If you missed the link in our August newsletters, it's HERE for your

convenience!


Enjoy Your Weekend,

Professional Development Day

No School or Homeschool

Student Led Conferences!

Monday 10/16- Wednesday 10/18

*These will be homeschool days for EVERYONE*

Student Led Conferences are one of our favorite signature practices across Da Vinci Schools! These mandatory conferences are one of the ways we put students in the driver's seat, and allow them to share with the adults around them the things that feel successful about their learning, what it feels like to be a student through their eyes, and an opportunity to share what they need from us! You will hear soon from your classroom with additional details, including sign ups, in the coming days!

Parent Educator Conference!

We are very excited to welcome you to campus for our Parent Educator Conference (PEC) on Wednesday, October 4th from

After workshops end at 12pm, we invite you to stay on campus to network with each other and eat lunch. MRKT El Segundo will be on campus selling a variety of items for purchase.


When planning to purchase lunch from MRKT, please use this link to indicate your preferences no later than Sunday afternoon. MRKT uses a CASHLESS payment system. Please be prepared to pay by credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
