Peer Tutoring for Connect HS Students
A message from the Connect High School Tutoring Club Leaders:
We have recently started a tutoring program where a group of students who are doing well in a particular subject sign up to spend 30 minutes after school tutoring their fellow students. We offer services to both cohorts, Mondays and Tuesdays from 3:15-3:45 pm.
It is a drop-by program so anyone who needs help can stop by and get help – there is no need to sign up! We focus particularly on homework help and less on concept understanding, as that is something teachers already do. We offer math tutoring up to Pre-Calculus and other subjects such as English, Psychology, and SNHU. We are working on expanding what we offer, so if you are interested in being a tutor and want something that looks good on your college resume, come by for more information.

Complete A Meal Application Today. Qualify for College Application Fee Waivers, Low-Cost Internet, Utilities & More!
Thank you for helping to get the 2023-24 school year off to a great start!
Both the state and federal government require Da Vinci to report the number of students each year who qualify for free and reduced meals. Although meals are currently being provided to all students free of charge, Da Vinci’s percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced meals greatly impacts the amount of additional funding Da Vinci can receive.
Studies show that many eligible families, in particular middle school and high school families, do not complete the meal application each year leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for Da Vinci Schools on the table. Even a small increase in eligible forms collected results in significantly more money for ALL students.
We ask that every family complete a federal Meal Application by October 27th to maximize funding for ALL Da Vinci students.
Please fill out the application online at MySchoolApps.com. Only complete one application per family. This information will not be shared or utilized for any other purpose.
Based on your circumstances, your family may qualify for P-EBT food benefits, low-cost internet access, utilities assistance, fee waivers for college applications, SAT/ACT and Subject Test fee waivers, scholarships, and more!
Don’t delay — you may be eligible for significant savings while helping Da Vinci maximize funding for ALL students.
