This week, we celebrate a wonderful new start for Da Vinci Connect High as they open their doors at their beautiful new campus, located at 550 Continental Blvd. in El Segundo.

The 13,300 square foot campus underwent an extensive interior renovation of an existing office suite, combining the best of what college and workplace settings can offer. Designed by Gensler, the campus includes 9 unique learning spaces, tiered seating amphitheater-style, a variety of collaborative work areas with white boards and work booths, group meeting rooms, an outside lunch area, and much more. The network infrastructure allows for students and staff to easily connect personal devices and share information. A strategic mixture of modern furniture donated by Belkin International gives the space a real *wow* factor. >> View Photos

Students attending Da Vinci Connect High earn a high school diploma and an Associate or Bachelor’s degree at the same time, for free. Connect High has a hybrid learning schedule with 2 days per week on campus and 3 days per week working from home (or anywhere!).  Connect High is now accepting applications for 9th, 10th, and 11th grades for the 2022-23 school year. >> Learn More

We are so grateful to all our students and families and Da Vinci staff who have worked together to make the new campus a reality. A huge thank you also to the City of El Segundo who helped guide us through the construction and site inspection process, and to Gensler and Belkin, our longtime community partners who are all-in for Da Vinci. We appreciate you!

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students of Da Vinci Communications, Design, Science and Connect High Schools:

Earlier this week we became aware of a threat based on postings on social media that warned of a possible shooting at our campus on Wednesday, September 8th. We immediately contacted our School Resource Officers from the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) who initiated an immediate investigation into the matter, in collaboration with Da Vinci Schools. Thanks in large part to the volume of information received from parents, students, staff, and community members, both DV and ESPD were able to successfully investigate and identify the students involved in the incident. We followed up with communication early Wednesday morning to inform all DVC, DVD, DVS and Connect High families that our schools would be open on Wednesday after having verified that the threat was deemed not to be credible.

Here are a few updates that we would like to share with you based on follow-up questions that we have received from families after the last notification went out:

– School has continued this week safely and without any further interruptions

– ESPD and DV continue to investigate the incident in order to ensure that all the issues that came to our attention this week are fully addressed

– ESPD has continued to provide their assistance as a resource to our schools

– Students at DVC, DVD, and DVS who were present on Wednesday participated in an activity that morning provided by DVC Principal Erin D’Souza that gave the students an opportunity to discuss the incident and address it in a focused and healthy manner. Connect HS students will also have this resource available to them. > School Safety Update

– All Counselors and mental health staff have been made available to students and staff to assist in any way possible to help with any anxiety, stress, and trauma generated by this incident

– Our Critical Incident Drill which was being planned for late September/early October will be moved up to be conducted as soon as possible in collaboration with ESPD and the El Segundo Fire Department

– We will continue to review and improve our critical incident communication and procedures. Thank you to the many people who have submitted suggestions and recommendations.

Lastly, many questions were posed regarding specific information about the students involved. This type of information is referred to as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as defined in Title 34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 99.3. and also relates to the type of information that is categorized as a student record. Both at the state level (California Education Code 49061(b), 49076, and Title 5 California Code of Regulations 430 (b)), and the federal level through the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 34 CFR 99.31, student records are protected as confidential records and can only be accessed as provided in law.

Thank you for your support. We will continue to provide updates as needed. Our goal remains to provide the highest level of safety possible for our students and staff.

Be well and be safe,

Vicente Bravo
