Covid Testing Update
We were just notified the Wiseburn School COVID testing site(s) is now unavailable for Da Vinci students and Wiseburn community members for the foreseeable future. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Da Vinci Schools will be sending out more information today regarding testing options prior to returning to campus Monday. Thank you and again, apologies for any confusion/inconvenience.
New Campus Update
Dear Connect High School Students and Families,
As we come to the close of a very successful Fall Semester, we wanted to provide you with an update on construction and the move to our new campus, located at 550 Continental Blvd. in El Segundo. Yesterday, we received promising news from the contractors regarding the completion of construction, and we observed great progress on our walk of the site. The primary delay has been caused by the safety standards related to fire code compliance required of all schools. Construction is on schedule to be completed over winter break, including the final hurdle of a fire inspection, which should be completed by December 31st. Once we are cleared for occupancy, we are planning an Open House for Saturday, January 8, 2022, with a first day of school for each cohort scheduled for January 10th/11th. We will update you again on January 3rd with confirmation of these scheduled events.
Thank you for your patience and tremendous support during this first semester. You are truly appreciated.
Marc
