Dear RISE Students & Stakeholders,

There is now a DreamSeeDo project specifically to help you learn to navigate the virtual learning space at RISE. This project provides a video overview of expectations around work completion, outlines the daily schedule for office hours and 1:1 support from teachers, lists all staff contact information in one place, and provides resources for navigating Zoom and other necessary technology platforms.

Students should have already been invited to join this project (check your . notifications in DSD!); if for some reason you do not see the invite, please let your Advisory teacher know.

Further, if any stakeholders would like access to DreamSeeDo in order to better understand the virtual learning model or to support your student through their assignments, please email the Assistant Principal at your student’s site, and they will get you set up!

Dear Students, Parents and Stakeholders,

Virtual School Expectations 

1. Students MUST Complete AT LEAST 3 steps per day on DreamSeeDo (Mon-Fri) – In order to offer flexibility in the program, steps may be completed at a time that works best for the student’s individual schedule.* 2 Steps in Exhibition Project
   * 1 Step in a specific class (or a third step in their exhibition project)
2.  Students are encouraged to check-in with RISE staff at least 3 times a week – Communication may be during office hours, advisory, scheduled 1-on-1’s, by phone or DreamSeeDo messenger. 

• • Our Suggestion:
    • 2 Academic (1 Exhibition Office Hour and 1 Academic Office Hour)
    • 1 Advisory hangout or check in

————————————————————————–

Communication

ALL RISE staff will be using Zoom to video conference with students  

What is Zoom ?
Zoom is a video conferencing app that allows the RISE community to communicate via computer or cell phone. Teachers and staff are able to display PowerPoints, send messages and manage communications through this platform. All students must login to zoom meetings at least 3 times per week.

Sign up here: https://zoom.us/signup

All 1-on-1 appointments with staff will be scheduled through Calendly

What is Calendly?
Calendly is an online scheduling app that Da Vinci RISE staff members are using to manage student meetings. Students must use the staff member’s calendly links (found below) to schedule 1-on-1 sessions to recieve help and/or support.

Follow-up
RISE staff will be reaching out to students and stakeholders to ensure all students are making academic progress. If students fail to complete 3 steps a day or to participate in at least 3 Zoom sessions a week, RISE staff will reach out to set a plan for how to ensure progress moving forward.

———————————————————————————————–

Special Education

Da Vinci RISE is committed to providing students with disabilities equal access to the same virtual learning opportunities provided to non-disabled peers. Because virtual learning differs from campus-based instruction, the services on a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) will also look different during this time.  Students with disabilities may receive their IEP services as: consultation, direct instruction through Zoom or Calendly, email, instructional phone calls, and other curriculum-based activities. During the week of 4/13-4/20, students with IEPs must contact their resource teacher (Tiffany Edwards at Hawthorne or Charles Snow at APCH) via Calendly to schedule a time to meet to develop their individual weekly virtual IEP service schedule. Resource teachers will reach out to stakeholders of students who are not adhering to their weekly virtual IEP service schedule.

———————————————————————————————–

504 Plans 

Accommodations and access to instruction is provided through teachers via the DreamSeeDo online platform. For any questions or concerns, please contact our 504 coordinator, Dynasty Taylor at Dtaylor@davincischools.org.

Below you will find a list of Frequently Asked Questions along with responses that detail the answers we have at this time.

What senior requirements & deadlines should I meet to receive my diploma?

• You must still complete the credits and courses necessary for your graduation pathway. Updated credit trackers were emailed to your Da Vinci Schools Student email address last week.

All credits that are highlighted in red or yellow MUST BE COMPLETED in order to graduate and receive your diploma in June.

  • Cover Letter
  • Final Senior SLC

Are Graduation and Senior Activities cancelled?

• Unfortunately, Grad Nite and Prom have been cancelled,  and Graduation has been postponed due to safety concerns around Coronavirus. You will receive reimbursements for any funds paid to reserve your place for Grad Nite and/or Prom. We are committed to ensuring that you still get the opportunity to celebrate your graduation by walking across the stage, and once we have received the all-clear from the Governor and the District, we will plan a ceremony and give you enough prior notice so that your family, friends, and loved ones can plan to attend. We will communicate this new graduation date and plan as soon as we have it. Thank you for your continued patience.

What do I do if I signed up for the CHSPE? 

• All students who were registered for the March California High School Proficiency Exam have been rescheduled for June 20.
• If you still need to register for the June 20^th date, you can do so when registration window opens on April 16.

  • If a student is unclear on which steps to complete, they can Zoom into their teachers’ hours using the schedule above, or can join their ASB time with their Academic Coach to receive more clarity.
  • Students and stakeholders can also reach out directly to students’ Advisory teachers and/or the lead Site Admin (contact information included above)

Dear Da Vinci RISE High Families and Friends,

As information continues to emerge regarding campus closures during the global coronavirus outbreak, I want to share the latest information.  Wednesday evening, Governor Newsom shared in a press conference that students in California will not physically return to school campuses for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.  State Superintendent of Public InstructionTony Thurmond and LACOE Superintendent Dr. Debra Duardo also have recommended that all districts and schools in Los Angeles County plan to provide virtual learning to students through the end of the school year. 

All Da Vinci Schools, including Da Vinci RISE High, will follow the direction of our state and county leaders and will adhere to a continuation of virtual learning through the end of this school year, unless new circumstances emerge requiring a change. 

While our physical school campuses are closed, our school is still operating to ensure students receive the support they need to progress academically. Virtual instruction will continue for all of our students through the end of the 2019-20 school year. Our teachers, counselors, school leaders, IT team and classified staff have done exceptional work to keep our students engaged, learning and connected during this challenging time. We continue to implement best practices in distance learning while tapping into some of the country’s exemplary learning networks of which we are members, as well as to learn from our internal Da Vinci experts who have been highly successful in blending in-person and remote learning for years. 

We understand there are many questions left unanswered and many details are still to be worked out. Over the following days and weeks, your RISE administrators will provide additional information about grading, graduations, senior activities, and more. It is incredibly important to us to note that we are committed to holding RISE’s graduation ceremony on campus/in person when it is safe to do so.

Our priority remains to do our part to protect the health and well-being of our students, staff, and the greater community. Please check our Coronavirus Updates web page for the latest information. 

We also remind you that we are providing FREE breakfast and lunch for ALL Da Vinci RISE High students. 

Hawthorne Site Meal Provision
Meals can be picked up daily M-F from 10:30am to 12:30pm at Dana Middle School, located at 5504 W. 135th Street, Hawthorne, CA. 

• From April 6-10, meal service at Dana will be closed. Meals during this time may be picked up at any Centinela Valley High School campus. For more information, please visit https://www.centinela.k12.ca.us/.  

APCH Site Meal Provision
For our A Place Called Home students, meals can be obtained at any of the sites : LA County Meal Distribution Grab & Go Meals.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership, and for all of the ways that our Da Vinci family is coming together to support one another. 

Please stay safe and be well,

Matt

Da Vincians,

First and foremost, we want to acknowledge what an incredible community we have at Da Vinci Schools! Our campuses may be closed, but our schools are open with caring and compassionate educators delivering high quality virtual learning. We are here for you. 

As we are in our third week of virtual instruction, we have some important updates to share with you about scheduling, health guidance, meal service and Spring Break. Please read this announcement in its entirety. 

Virtual Instruction
We want to remind everyone that virtual learning will continue through at least May 4, 2020. However, we will be on Spring Break from April 6-10 and have PD days on April 13-14 (more info below). On-campus instruction at all Da Vinci Schools is tentatively scheduled to resume on May 5, 2020. Please check our Coronavirus Updates webpage for the latest information. 

Meal Service
According to new state and federal guidelines, we are now able to offer FREE grab-and-go meals for ALL Da Vinci students during the coronavirus-related campus closures, regardless of whether your child/ren qualify for free and reduced-price meals.

It is expected that the student will be present to pick up the meals. However, in the event that the student is unavailable, a parent/guardian may pick up the meals on behalf of the student. Please try to have your student’s ID number available. 

Students/families may pick up both breakfast and lunch M-F from 10:30am-12:30pm at:

Dana Middle School
5504 W. 135th Street
Hawthorne, CA 90250

We will NOT be providing meals during Spring Break (April 6-10). Instead, Da Vinci students/families may pick up meals from Hawthorne, Lawndale or Leuzinger High Schools in the Centinela Valley Union High School District on M-F from 10:30am – 1:00pm. For more information, please visit https://www.centinela.k12.ca.us/.  

Spring Break Schedule & PD Days
We want to remind all of our students, families and staff that we will be observing Spring Break (April 6-10). There will be no virtual instruction during this time. We ask everyone to take a well-needed break from school. 

In addition, in order to provide our staff an opportunity to collaborate on best practices for virtual instruction and plan for the next few weeks, we have decided to make Monday, April 13th and Tuesday, April 14th Professional Development days. This means that students would not have any scheduled classes meeting during these first two days following Spring Break. This would also ensure that all students could take a full week off from school if they wish, using Monday and Tuesday after the break to catch up on school work if needed, as assignments would not be due until Wednesday, April 15th at the earliest.

Health Guidance
The California State Public Health Officer and Director of the California Department of Public Health is ordering all individuals living in the State of California to stay home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. If you go out, keep at least 6 feet of distance.

At Da Vinci, we want to continue to provide health care updates as they become available through our local public health agencies. Please adhere to the following guidelines recommended by the Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control.

The COVID-19 virus has an incubation period of 2-14 days which means that anyone in close contact (close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of distance to another person for 10 minutes or longer) with an individual who has tested positive or has symptoms would need to self-quarantine for 14 days.  If you are not feeling well (symptoms of COVID-19 include fever above 100.4, cough and shortness of breath), contact your physician to evaluate your symptoms and determine next steps. If you need assistance finding a medical provider or mental health services, please call 2-1-1. If your symptoms get worse (breathing, dehydration, confusion), seek prompt medical care in an emergency room. Otherwise, the treatment advice is to stay home and take self-care measures such as rest and increasing fluids.  

We are deeply grateful for all of the ways that our Da Vinci family is coming together to support one another.

Stay safe and be well,

Matthew Wunder, Ed.D.

Actualización de Coronavirus: Servicio de comidas, vacaciones de primavera y orientación sobre salud (31 de marzo de 2020)

Estimadas familias y personal de Da Vinci:

Primero y ante todo, ¡queremos reconocer la increíble comunidad que tenemos en las Escuelas Da Vinci! Nuestros campus pueden estar cerrados, pero nuestras escuelas están abiertas con educadores solidarios y compasivos que ofrecen un aprendizaje virtual de alta calidad. Estamos aquí para ustedes. 

A medida que ingresamos a nuestra tercera semana de instrucción virtual, tenemos algunas actualizaciones importantes para compartir con ustedes sobre la programación, orientación de salud, servicio de comidas y vacaciones de primavera. Por favor lea este anuncio en su totalidad.

Instrucción virtual
Queremos recordarles a todos que el aprendizaje virtual continuará al menos hasta el 4 de mayo de 2020. Sin embargo, estaremos en vacaciones de primavera del 6 al 10 de abril (más información a continuación). La instrucción en el campus de todas las escuelas de Da Vinci está programada tentativamente para reanudarse el 5 de mayo de 2020. Consulte nuestra página web de actualizaciones de Coronavirus para obtener la información más reciente.

Servicio de comidas
De acuerdo con las nuevas pautas estatales y federales, ahora podemos ofrecer comidas GRATUITAS para TODOS los estudiantes de Da Vinci durante el cierre del campus relacionado con el coronavirus, sin importar si su hijo / a reúne los requisitos para recibir comidas gratuitas o de precio reducido.

 Se espera que el estudiante esté presente para recoger las comidas. Sin embargo, en el caso de que el estudiante no esté disponible, un padre / tutor puede recoger las comidas en nombre del estudiante. Intente tener el número de identificación de su estudiante disponible.

Los estudiantes / familias pueden recoger el desayuno y el almuerzo de lunes a viernes de 10:30 a.m. a 12:30 p.m. en: 

Dana Middle School
5504 W. 135th Street
Hawthorne, CA 90250

NO proporcionaremos comidas durante las vacaciones de primavera (del 6 al 10 de abril). En cambio, los estudiantes / familias de Da Vinci pueden recoger comidas de las escuelas secundarias Hawthorne, Lawndale o Leuzinger en el Distrito Escolar Centinela Valley Union High School de lunes a viernes de 10:30 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. Para mas información por favor visite https://www.centinela.k12.ca.us/.

Horario de vacaciones de primavera y días de Desarrollo Profesional (PD)
Queremos recordar a todos nuestros estudiantes, familias y personal que nos adheriremos a las vacaciones de primavera (6-10 de abril). No habrá instrucciones virtuales durante este tiempo. Les pedimos a todos que tomen un merecido descanso de la escuela.

Además, con el fin de proporcionar a nuestro personal la oportunidad de colaborar en las mejores prácticas para la instrucción virtual y el plan para las próximas semanas, hemos decidido hacer los días de Desarrollo Profesional el lunes 13 de abril y el martes 14 de abril. Esto significa que los estudiantes no tendrían clases programadas durante los primeros dos días después de las vacaciones de primavera. Esto también aseguraría que todos los estudiantes puedan tomarse una semana libre de la escuela si lo desean, utilizando los lunes y martes después del receso para ponerse al día con el trabajo escolar si es necesario, ya que las tareas no se entregarán hasta el miércoles 15 de abril a más tardar.

Orientación de salud
El Oficial de Salud Pública del Estado de California y Director del Departamento de Salud Pública de California está ordenando a todas las personas que viven en el Estado de California que permanezcan en sus hogares, excepto para obtener alimentos, cuidar a un pariente o amigo, obtener atención médica necesaria o ir a un trabajo esencial. Si sale, mantenga al menos 6 pies de distancia.

En Da Vinci, queremos continuar brindando actualizaciones de atención médica a medida que estén disponibles a través de nuestras agencias locales de salud pública. Siga las siguientes pautas recomendadas por el Departamento de Salud Pública y los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades.

El virus COVID-19 tiene un período de incubación de 2 a 14 días, lo que significa que cualquier persona que esté en contacto cercano  (el contacto cercano se define como estar a 6 pies de distancia de otra persona durante 10 minutos o más) con una persona que haya dado positivo o tenga síntomas necesitará auto-cuarentena durante 14 días. Si no se siente bien (los síntomas de COVID-19 incluyen fiebre por encima de 100.4, tos y falta de aire), comuníquese con su médico para evaluar sus síntomas y determinar los próximos pasos. Si necesita ayuda para encontrar un proveedor médico o servicios de salud mental, llame al 2-1-1. Si sus síntomas empeoran (respiración, deshidratación, confusión), busque atención médica inmediata en una sala de emergencias. De otra manera, el consejo del tratamiento es quedarse en casa y tomar medidas de autocuidado, como descansar y aumentar los líquidos. 

Estamos profundamente agradecidos por todas las formas en que nuestra familia Da Vinci se une para apoyarse mutuamente.

Manténgase seguro y esté bien,

Matthew Wunder, Ed.D.
CEO
