Welcome to the new school year at Da Vinci Jr. High! As the principal of this incredible school, it’s my honor to extend a warm and heartfelt greeting to each of you, whether new or returning, as we embark on the 2024-2025 school year together.
At Da Vinci, we take immense pride in being more than just a school; we consider ourselves a panda family. Our commitment to this family spirit is reflected in the values that guide us each day.
We are dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where every member supports one another. Professionalism in our actions underscores our dedication to excellence and integrity. Innovation is at the heart of our approach to learning, ensuring that we continuously seek creative and effective ways to engage with new ideas. Our community mindset drives us to build strong connections and work together towards common goals. Additionally, we maintain a restorative focus, which helps us address challenges constructively and with empathy.
These values are not just principles; they are the foundation of our rigorous learning and our commitment to nurturing a supportive and dynamic educational experience.
Project-based learning is at the core of what makes our school unique. It allows our students to engage deeply with their subjects, working collaboratively on real-world problems and projects that ignite their passions. This year, we have some incredible projects lined up, and I am confident that they will spark creativity and foster a love for learning in every student.
Our school community is a place where each student is valued and supported, where teachers are dedicated to nurturing every child's potential, and where families are integral partners in our journey. We believe that when we work together, we create an environment where everyone thrives and feels at home.
As we kick off this school year, I encourage you to stay connected and engaged. Review our weekly Panda Press Newsletters, attend our signature project nights and school events, participate in classroom activities, and never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need support. Remember, our entire school family is here to support you every step of the way.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences. Let’s make it our best year yet!
With warmest regards,
Marla
