Student-Led Conference Week: 2/1 – 2/5

Student-Led Conferences

Student-Led Conferences will be held Monday, February 1st – Friday, February 5th. At Da Vinci Schools, Student-Led Conferences are a graduation requirement designed to  facilitate student reflection on their learning and growth. The goal is to model self-reflection so that students learn to constantly monitor their own progress and identify ways to strengthen their learning and accelerate their growth. SLCs also give teachers, advisors, and student stakeholders an opportunity to identify strengths and areas of growth so that they can better support students towards their goals.

To best accommodate a wide array of schedules, we will also be offering extended hours for SLC appointments on one day during the week. APCH will have appointments from 11-6:00pm on Thursday, February 4th. New Earth and Hawthorne will have appointments from 11-6:00pm on Wednesday, February 3rd. Every RISE student has an advisor, who is working to reach out, prepare and schedule your student’s SLC. If you have not been notified, please reach out to your students advisor (all information listed in their Personalized Learning Plan, STAFF DIRECTORY LINKED)

Las Confrencias Dirigidas Por Esudiantes 

Las conferencias dirigidas por estudiantes se llevarán a cabo del lunes 1 de febrero al viernes 5 de febrero. En las escuelas de Da Vinci, las conferencias dirigidas por estudiantes son un requisito de graduación diseñado para facilitar la reflexión de los estudiantes sobre su aprendizaje y crecimiento. El objetivo es fomentar la autorreflexión para que los estudiantes aprendan a monitorear constantemente su propio progreso e identificar formas de fortalecer su aprendizaje y acelerar su crecimiento. Las conferencias dirigidas por los estudiantes también brindan a los maestros, asesores y las partes interesadas de los estudiantes la oportunidad de identificar las fortalezas y áreas de crecimiento para que puedan apoyar mejor a los estudiantes en sus metas. 

Para adaptarse mejor a una amplia gama de horarios, también ofreceremos horarios extendidos para citas de conferencias durante un día de la semana. APCH tendrá citas de 11:00am a 6:00 pm el jueves 4 de febrero. New Earth y Hawthorne tendrán citas de 11:00am a 6:00 pm el miércoles 3 de febrero. Cada estudiante de RISE tiene un asesor, que está trabajando para contactar, preparar y programar las conferencias de su estudiante. Si no ha sido notificado, comuníquese con su asesor de sus estudiantes (toda la información se encuentra en su plan de aprendizaje personalizadoSTAFF DIRECTORY LINKED)

RISE High: Quarter 3 Newsletter

Versión en español (haga clic aquí)

Hello RISE Families,

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones happy and well. As a reminder, our first day of Quarter 3 begins this Monday, January 11th. By now you should have received hardcopies of the parent letter, report card and other informative documents sent over winter break. Should you have any que

stions please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email at ewhalen@davincischools.org or reach out to your site administrator Edith Funes at APCH or Rebecca Robinson at Hawthorne.

Congrats to our December 2020 Graduates ♥

The RISE High family is PROUD to congratulate our December graduates! You have defied the odds during an incredibly challenging time and we couldn’t be more inspiredby your resilience and determination to reach your goals. This is just the beginning of your journey, always remember your RISE family has your back!

Advisory at RISE!

EVERY SINGLE student at RISE has an advisor. Advisors are staff members who are there to support students with academic progress, socio-emotional development and coaching through the year. Students must attend AT LEAST 4 one-on-one check-ins with their advisor each quarter. Students should also register for their selected 6 workshops (1 college and career, 1 social emotional and 4 of their choice). Completing these tasks not only provides students with tools to succeed, but also provides them with 2.5 credits that can work to boost their GPA. Though advisory credits do not count towards high school graduation, they are used to pump up our student’s GPAs to make them even more competitive for college acceptance, internships, job opportunities and more.

College and Career/ Senior Workshops!

College and Career workshops are an excellent resource for students looking for employment or interested in future job opportunities. This workshop is open to all students and occurs on Wednesdays from 2:30—4:00pm.

Senior Workshops are for RISE students who are “Senior Status” or “approaching senior status”. This workshop supports our seniors with all post- and pre-graduation needs (applications, college essays, interviews etc.)

Senior Status – 30 Credits or less remaining

Approaching Senior Status – 30 – 45 Credits remaining

EL Workshop

English Language Learning workshop is designed to support students for whom English is their second language. This class is to provide additional tutoring to support your academic progress! Students can earn up to 2.5 credits in their English classes for attending (.5 credits), making Lexile growth (.5 credits) and completing Achieve 3000 articles (1.5 credit).

Schedule Breakdown

All student schedules are included in their Personalized Learning Plans! Students should be working on their assignments in-between classes to ensure they are making adequate academic progress. During “Independent Work time” students are able to reach out to their teachers for additional one-on-one or small group support. ALL staff contact information is located the Da Vinci RISE Staff Directory.

Parent Workshop

Principal, Erin Whalen and Site Director, Da’John Harris will be leading a parent workshop on Thursday, January 21st, 2021 at 5:00pm via Zoom. We will be there to help our parents learn how to read the student schedule, navigate DreamSeeDo and help be a support system to your student to ensure they are making adequate progress at RISE!

Health and Safety

During this very trying time, we want to ensure our community is educated and supported on ways to stay safe and healthy. Please let us know if you need any support. Here are some useful COVID-related resources:

Yearbook 2021

Are you enrolled in Yearbook!? Are you interested in social media!? Well today is your lucky day. Yearbook is being revamped this quarter to allow our Yearbook Scholars to be our social media leaders! Little known fact, RISE has an Instagram, twitter and Facebook. We will be using our Yearbook class to learn how to effectively and professionally navigate the social media world! Additionally, we will be working to create an AWESOME yearbook!

Da Vinci RISE – Winter Memo

Dear RISE Community, 

We hope that you are healthy, safe and in good spirits. Since the campus closure in response to COVID-19, RISE has created a virtual learning experience to ensure the continued academic support and progression of our scholars. Our educational model at RISE provides students with multiple ways to earn credits. Students should be logging into their scheduled classes Monday through Thursday, attending advisory workshops and interdisciplinary labs in the afternoon and completing independent assignments between classes and after school hours. Work should be completed on DreamSeeDo (RISE High’s online learning platform) as well as supplementary programs for specific content classes (ALEKs, Rosetta Stone, Inqits, Achieve 3000 etc.) 

As we prepare for quarter 3, we plan to continue the RISE tradition of holding students to the highest expectations in the areas of attendance, academics and credit attainment. We encourage you to meet with your student to  set quarter 3 goals with them. All work completed over winter break will be provided with feedback, graded and allotted the appropriate credits once we return.

Please note that Quarter 3 begins on Monday, January 11, 2021. RISE students MUST be present and login to their first virtual class, as indicated in their individualized schedule (may be found in their PLP- Personalized Learning Plan). Also, as a reminder, student attendance is taken in all courses. Students that do not attend their zoom classes or upload assignments within DreamSeeDo will be marked absent and stakeholders will be contacted.  

Special Note: Quarter 3 Advisory Workshop Sign-Ups will open the Week of Jan. 11th. Please ensure that your student registers for their selected 8 workshops (1 college and career, 1 social emotional and 4 of their choice). 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your site administrator. Edith Funes at APCH, Rebecca Robertson at Hawthorne and Erin Whalen at New Earth. You can also reach out to me directly for any questions or concerns. I look forward to your continued partnership during our remaining 2020-2021 School Year, and look forward to having your student virtually join us the week of Monday, January 11th! 

Sincerely,

 

Estimada comunidad de RISE,

Esperamos que esté sano, seguro y se encuentre en buenos espíritus. Desde que cerró nuestra escuela  en respuesta a COVID-19, RI

SE ha creado una experiencia de aprendizaje virtual para garantizar el apoyo académico continuo y la progresión de nuestros estudiant

es. Nuestro modelo educativo en RISE ofrece a nuestros estudiantes múltiples formas de obtener créditos. Los estudiantes deben asistir las clases virtuales programadas para ellos de lunes a jueves, asistir los talleres de asesoramiento, laboratorios interdisciplinarios por la tarde y completar tareas independientes entre clases y después del horario escolar. El tr

abajo debe completarse en “DreamSeeDo” (la plataforma de aprendizaje en línea de RISE), al igual que los programas alineados a sus clases de contenido específico (ALEK, Rosetta Stone, Inqits, Achieve 3000, etc.).  

Mientras nos preparamos para el tercer trimestre, planeamos continuar la tradición de RISE de mantener a los estudiantes con las expectativas más altas en las áreas de asistencia, áreas académicas y obtención de créditos. Le sugerimos que se reúna con su estudiante para establecer metas del tercer trimestre con ellos. Como recordatorio, los estudiantes pueden continuar completando trabajos y obteniendo créditos durante las vacaciones de invierno. Todo el trabajo se proporcionará con comentarios, se calificará y los créditos se proporcionarán después de que regresemos de las vacaciones de invierno.

Tome en cuenta que el tercer trimestre comienza el lunes 11 de enero de 2021. Los estudiantes de RISE DEBEN estar presentes e iniciar sesión en su primera clase virtual como se indica en su horario individualizado (se puede encontrar en su PLP – Plan de Aprendizaje Personalizado). Además, como recordatorio, la asistencia de los estudiantes se toma en todos los cursos. Los estudiantes que no asistan a las clases de zoom o entreguen tareas dentro de nuestra plataforma “DreamSeeDo” serán marcados como ausentes y se contactará a las familias del alumno.

Nota especial: Las inscripciones para los talleres de asesoramiento del tercer trimestre comenzarán la semana del 11 de enero. Asegúrese de que su estudiante se registre en 8 talleres seleccionados (1 universidad y carrera, 1 socioemocional y 4 de su elección).

 Si tenga alguna pregunta, no dude en ponerse en contacto con el administrador de su escuela. Edith Funes en APCH, Rebecca Robertson en Hawthorne y Erin Whalen en New Earth. También puede comunicarse conmigo directamente para cualquier pregunta o inquietud. ¡Continuaremos trabajando como socios durante el año escolar 2020-2021 y  espero que su estudiante se reúna con  nosotros virtualmente durante la semana del lunes 11 de enero!

Sinceramente,

NWEA Testing: Next Week (12/7)

Dear DV RISE Students and Families, 

During the week of December 7th, the students of Da Vinci RISE High will take a MAP® Growth™ test from NWEA® on a school computer. MAP® Growth™ scores help teachers check student performance by measuring achievement and growth, specifically in reading and math skills. Teachers use results to tailor classroom lessons and set goals for students. As a Year 4 focus at Da Vinci RISE High, we are striving to provide accurate literacy data to students, stakeholders, and governing boards in order to graduate critical thinkers who possess the skills and passion to create change.

MAP® Growth™ tests are unique, and it adapts to your student’s responses to measure your student’s skill level. If your student answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. These results will provide a more complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.

MAP® Growth™ reports also provide typical growth data for students who are in the same grade, subject and have the same starting performance level. All students, regardless of course-load or weekly schedule, will complete the MAP® Growth™ testing for English and Math. This is the second of four testing periods this school year. Following this testing period, you will receive a Family Report showing a summary of how your child is performing academically.

As you are aware, all of our students have their own Personalized Learning Plan (PLP) and this assessment is one more tool to assist us in personalizing the learning pathway and help strengthen your son/daughter’s skills. 

We are truly excited to focus on your student’s individual growth and achievement. For more information about MAP Growth, visit NWEA.org/familytoolkit.

 

Sincerely,

RISE Administration

Da Vinci RISE High

How to Prepare Before Testing: 

  • Take some time to review your class notes and materials
  • Ask your teachers for help on any concepts you may not understand 
  • Make sure to get a good night of rest and at least 8 hours of sleep the night before each assessment.
  • Make sure to eat a healthy breakfast on the morning before assessments.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Estimados estudiantes y familias de DV RISE:

El 4 y 5 de diciembre, todos los estudiantes de Da Vinci RISE High tomarán una prueba MAP® Growth ™ de NWEA® en una computadora de la escuela. Los puntajes de MAP® Growth ™ ayudan a los maestros a verificar el desempeño de los estudiantes al medir el rendimiento y el crecimiento, específicamente en las habilidades de lectura y matemáticas. Los maestros usan los resultados para adaptar las lecciones en la clase y establecer metas para los estudiantes. Como enfoque de año 4 en Da Vinci RISE High, nos esforzamos por proporcionar datos de alfabetización precisos a los estudiantes, las partes interesadas y las juntas directivas para graduar pensadores críticos que poseen las habilidades y la pasión para crear el cambio.

Las pruebas MAP® Growth ™ son únicas y se adaptan a las respuestas de su estudiante para medir el nivel de habilidad de su estudiante. Si su estudiante responde una pregunta correctamente, la siguiente pregunta es más desafiante. Si responden incorrectamente, el siguiente es más fácil. Estos resultados proporcionarán una imagen más completa de lo que su hijo sabe y está listo para aprender, ya sea sobre, por encima o por debajo de su nivel de grado

Los informes MAP® Growth ™ también proporcionan datos de crecimiento típicos para estudiantes que están en el mismo grado, materia y tienen el mismo nivel de rendimiento inicial. Todos los estudiantes, independientemente de la carga del curso o el horario semanal, completarán la prueba MAP® Growth ™ para inglés y matemáticas. Este será el primero de cuatro períodos de prueba este año escolar. Después de cada período de prueba, recibirá un Informe familiar que muestra un resumen de cómo se desempeña académicamente su hijo.

Estamos realmente entusiasmados de enfocarnos en el crecimiento y el logro individual de su estudiante. Para obtener más información sobre MAP Growth, visite NWEA.org/familytoolkit.

 

Sincerely,

RISE Administración

Da Vinci RISE High 

Cómo prepararse antes de la prueba:

  • Tómese un tiempo para revisar sus notas y materiales de clase.
  • Pide ayuda a tus maestros sobre cualquier concepto que no entiendas
  • Asegúrese de tener una buena noche de descanso y al menos 8 horas de sueño la noche anterior a cada evaluación.
  • Asegúrese de comer un desayuno saludable en la mañana antes de las evaluaciones.

Da Vinci RISE Community, 

During this time of thanks, the RISE family wants to appreciate you all; students, staff, partners, parents, stakeholders and community members for the love and support you pour into RISE High School. As we close out quarter 2 of our 4th year in operation, we want to appreciate all those who have contributed to making this high school possible! 

Da Vinci RISE will be on Fall Break, next week, from Monday, November 23rd – Friday, November 27th. We will return to school on Monday, November 30th. We want to wish you all a safe and joyous vacation. As a reminder, students are still able to complete work and earn credits when school is on recess. All work will be graded and reviewed for feedback upon our return. 

Even during these trying times, we are ecstatic to share that RISE will be having our first set of December graduates! These are students who have completed their credits and will be awarded their diploma at our socially-distanced drive-thru graduation ceremony on December 18th. The entire RISE family is incredibly proud of our students who are defying the odds in truly impressive ways. In closing, we’d like to share our vision: 

RISE High will graduate individuals who have a strong sense of self & value of community; who are able to think critically about the world around them; who possess the skills and passion to create change; and who feel empowered and prepared to do so.” 

Thank you to our outstanding students who exemplify this mission and vision, and thank you to our community for supporting us, in supporting our students towards their individualized goals. Have a safe and healthy holiday break.
