Robert and I have an important message/reminder for all our Connect HS Parent/Guardians AND Students.
(The Connect HS Student and Family Handbook can be found at the bottom of the newsletter.)
We would like to draw your attention to our Student Code of Conduct found in the Connect HS Student and Family Handbook (beginning on pg 26).
It has been reported that students are using offensive language in conversations and at times have used inappropriate language to hurt others. We take these matters seriously and as per our policy, “anyone engaging in prohibited behavior may be subject to discipline including the possibility of being subject to an expulsion hearing”.
We'd also like to highlight our high school's dress code policy. The dress code policy was crafted to foster a positive and cohesive school atmosphere, while promoting a sense of community. Embracing individuality is important to us, but we kindly ask that you help your students align with the guidelines we've established and come to school dressed within those guidelines. Please take a moment to review the dress code policy on page 27 of the handbook together.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Tami and Robert

A Message from Dr. Emily Green
Welcome back 23-24
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
Welcome back! I hope you had a relaxing, fun and healthy summer! Here is an update from the health team-
Health Accommodations/Needs: If your student needs health support during the school day or has any injury or accident you would like us to be aware of, please contact school nurse at egreen@davincischools.org. (example: is having an upcoming surgery, diagnosed with a new condition, experiences a concussion over the weekend, etc). Short term accommodations or referral for increased support can be put in place for your student.
Medications: If your child needs to take medication during the school day, we require physician and parent authorization, including over the counter medications. Medical Authorization Form. Students are strictly prohibited from bringing any medication to school unless this form is completed. This form can be emailed, faxed or dropped off on campus. For medication needs without authorization, parents are welcome to come to campus to administer.
Illnesses: Parents are encouraged NOT to send their child to school if they appear ill. A child should remain at home for their own welfare and for the protection of other students if they have a fever >99 degrees or if they are sick with symptoms such as productive cough, vomiting, diarrhea.
**COVID: Please continue to report all cases of COVID to egreen@davincischools.org. Students are asked to isolate for 5 days from illness onset or positive test per LA County Public Health protocols and we will assist in calculating the return timeline. Contact notices will be sent to families if there are 3 or more linked cases confirmed in our community. COVID tests are available at school for students to use and take home as needed. Masks are welcome and optional for all staff and students.
Emergency Contact: Please remember to notify us when there is a change in your emergency or work telephone numbers in case of emergency.
Heat: We are well into the summer heat and it will likely stay that way through our first weeks of school. Da Vinci staff encourages students to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed of what heat exhaustion looks like. Make sure water is available during outdoor activities, take regular breaks and prioritize hydration!
Vision/ Hearing Screening: Students and families can request a vision and hearing screening. Vision vouchers for free eye exams and glasses are available for eligible families.
More information can be found at https://www.davincischools.org/health-services/
Thank you and here is to a safe, healthy and fun school year!
