Juniors: Cal Poly Pomona RISE (Residential Intensive Summer Education) Program
The Residential Intensive Summer Education (RISE) program is a FREE five-day, four-night program on campus that will prepare rising seniors to not only transition into a university environment but specifically help prepare them for life as a college student. During the program, they will have the opportunity to meet Cal Poly Pomona faculty and staff and engage with current Cal Poly Pomona students.

FREE at home COVID-19 tests are available
Dear Da Vinci Students, Families,
Da Vinci has received additional at-home COVID-19 ihealth test kits. A two-pack of test kits will be available to each student and staff member. We strongly encourage students to pick up a COVID test kit and self-administer prior to returning to campus after Spring Break. Please report at-home test results here (both positive and negative results should be reported)
School sites have test kits for students to pick up at each site location. An additional pick up TODAY Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 4-6pm at 201 N Douglas Street Parking lot for any family that missed other pick-ups.
Each kit contains 2 tests. The recommendation is that parents/guardians administer one test at home to their student Sunday April 17th and the other can be kept for future use in the event they are identified as a close contact or become symptomatic.
A negative test is not required for students and staff to return to school after spring break, but in the event your child exhibits any flu-like or cold symptoms, your child should get tested and remain at home.
Students that test positive must follow the LA County Isolation guidelines and may not attend school during the required isolation period. Da Vinci School Nurse will follow up with return to school guidance for any positive results reported.
For current quarantine, isolation, and other COVID FAQs please see here.
