Don’t forget to check the DAILY TRACKER– a one stop shop for all asynchronous and synchrounous work/assignments, due dates, projects, office hours times and links, etc. Its the best way to keep up to date and on track in your classes- for students and parents/guardians. And don’t hesitiate to reach out to your teacher should you have any questions.

New this semester: if you miss a/an asynchronous assignment/s and fail to turn it in upon the due date- expect to recieve an email for a mandatory zoom session with Kene Washington- the Connect intervention counselor who will be hosting weekly (mandatory) zoom sessions to asssit any student to get back on track with the class/es and assignmet/s. We want to help ensure your success! Should you have any questions about this, please reach out to Kene at kwashington@davincischools.org

We invite you, your students, and their families to learn more about The Claremont Colleges – Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges – a consortium of five undergraduate institutions located in one square mile in sunny Claremont, California. Our distinct colleges, also known as the “5Cs”, are united by a spirit of collaboration and connectivity that influences academics, athletics, and student life. With shared resources across the consortium, like the Claremont Colleges Library and over 250 clubs and organizations, students at the “5Cs” experience the best of both worlds: the ability to attend a small, tightly focused college while also enjoying the benefits of a larger college or university.

We encourage you to attend our upcoming virtual events to learn more about both our shared and institutionally unique approaches to a liberal arts education. Please forward this along to your students and their families as well. 
Thursday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
5C Information Session
This session provides an overview of the Claremont Colleges and an introductory understanding of each individual college.
