Jan 05, 2021 · Regardless, School Pass has been crucial in prohibiting any potentially contagious people from LJCDS’s campus. 6. Blackboard and My School App. Blackboard is not a distinctly Torrey term, but it definitely is one of the most frequently heard and spoken words at LJCDS. Blackboard houses all information about student courses, grades, and ...
Blackboard houses all information about student courses, grades, and assignments. Considered the ‘big kid’ version of My School App, all Upper School students experience the same confusion when first using the platform, but soon become experts. Blackboard can be accessed by computer or smartphone and can be set to send notifications when new content, assignments, announcements, and grades are posted: a blessing and a curse. While being the first to know about any upcoming project is helpful in planning, seeing the results of your math test on Sunday morning is not always so pleasant. Although less relevant to Upper Schoolers, My School App is essential for accessing important information like quarter grades and comments, transcripts, schedules and directories. Middle Schoolers use My School App to view all of their assignments and classes (as the Upper School does with Blackboard).
To an LJCDS student, the Pavilion is (well, pre-COVID 19) the one-stop shop for school lunch. While the Pavilion’s function has changed throughout the years, from being open for both breakfast and lunch and pay-as-you-go to included in tuition and provided daily, it has always fed Country Day students, staff, and faculty from all divisions. During normal times, the Pavilion has three main sections, ‘The Side’ closest to the tennis courts, the main hot and cold lunch area, and what I like to call, ‘The Other Side’, referring to the food stop closest to the amphitheater. The Pavilion provides a variety of options to accommodate all dietary needs and keep our student body healthy, happy, and well-fed. Located just outside of the Pavilion are lunch tables and where students, excluding the Lower School, and faculty eat.
To finish the list, Lifers are students who have consistently attended La Jolla Country Day School starting in the ECC, Early Childhood Center, or in Kindergarten. Lifers have watched La Jolla Country Day School grow alongside themselves and truly experience everything our school has to offer. Aside from the tight-knit bond between Lifers and the abundance of memories they have together, Lifers engage in a variety of exclusive activities their senior year. These include special Lifer luncheons and a blast to the past where Lifers can spend the day free of college applications and tough decisions and hang at the Lower School playground, reminiscing with their Lower School teachers.
Flex assumes a completely different meaning at LJCDS, referring to student-led clubs and organizations. Each club, headed by a faculty advisor, is either on Flex 1, 2, 3, or 4 and given an hour to meet. Being involved in a Flex is mandatory for certain grade levels and is a great opportunity to experiment with your interests and find a niche community within our broader school community. Flex Time activities range from Torrey Mock Trial to Future Doctors and Scientists, to, of course, The Palette. P.S. The Palette meets on Flex 2. Email Mr. Tohidi at [email protected] if you are interested in joining.
VASC stands for Visual Arts and Science Center. Pop into a room in the VASC and you may find lab benches, fume hoods, an array of chemicals (for learning purposes, of course), or ready-to-use cameras and oil pastels in every shade. I can personally attest the VASC is one of the coldest locations, temperature speaking, on campus. My classmates and I had to bundle up before entering the Honors Chemistry classroom last year. VASC is certainly a unique term, with a Google search pulling up next-to-nothing about the acronym in a broader context.
Yes, the bell is a literal bell in the middle of the Upper School quad, but it has significance. No LJCDS students or staff are allowed to touch or ring the bell, with the exception of graduating seniors. A long-awaited tradition, each member of the graduating class celebrates their last day of high school by ringing the bell. Ringing the bell is so important part to the senior experience that every graduate from the Class of 2020, despite quarantine and a pandemic preventing them for experiencing an in-person last day of school, was still able to come to campus, precautions and safety ensured, and ring the bell, signifying their completion.
