Reminder to WDV Student Athletes: Regarding Early Dismissal for Games/Meets

We are proud of the commitment you make as student-athletes. Participating in athletics is a privilege and an opportunity to represent yourself, your team, our school, and our organization with pride. We appreciate the dedication it takes to balance academics and athletics, and we want to support your success in both.

To help maintain consistency and fairness, the front office and school staff follow official dismissal directives from the Athletics Department for games, meets, and athletic events. These dismissal times are thoughtfully determined to protect instructional time while ensuring you arrive prepared for competition.

Please remain in class until your approved dismissal time. Leaving class earlier than authorized creates confusion and disrupts expectations across campus.

If a student-athlete leaves class before the approved dismissal time, the incident will be reported to the Athletics Department and will receive follow-up actions from the department, coach, and/or team leadership.

Our goal is not punishment, but accountability and growth. By following these expectations, you help strengthen trust, demonstrate responsibility, and represent our athletic programs in a positive way. Thank you for your cooperation and for continuing to show what it means to be a student-athlete.

Welcome to Week 19 Designers!

We hope you are enjoying a great 3-Day Weekend! We will see you back bright and early Tuesday morning. Please see below for the Bell Schedule and the Upcoming Events.

Good afternoon Designers!

NOTE:  UNFORTUNATELY PAPER DUAL ENROLLMENT FORMS ARE STILL NEEDED FOR SPRING SEMESTER.

Happy new year and welcome back! This spring semester, Da Vinci Schools is offering 4 dual enrollment partnership courses with El Camino College that will begin on February 16th, 2026.  Please see listing below.

HDEV 110, FILM 110, COMS 100 are open to 9th-12th grade students, while ENG C1000 is only open to 12th grade students.

NOTE:  ALL CLASSES ARE ASYNCHRONOUS/ONLINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COMS 100.

Da Vinci Schools will be assisting with sign-ups by hosting an application workshop in the RWL Center computer lab this Thursday, January 15th from 3:00pm-5:00 pm. Students should know their SSN# (if they have one) and whether or not their family is considered a military family when they come.

To be eligible to take a dual enrollment class, the student will need to be passing all their academic classes and have no credit recovery for a-g classes. Space is limited and we are accepting forms on a first come first serve basis!

Please see Miss Pam if you have questions.

POL Treats for Teachers: Design Families: 2025 POL Coffee & Snack Sign-Up

• While our students are preparing and presenting the learning they’ve achieved over the semester, our teachers are hard at work viewing and scoring those presentations. For teachers, this also means long, 8 hour days being a part of panels.
• One way that we show appreciation for our teachers during these long days is keeping them fed and caffeinated. And we would love your help!
• If you would like to donate snacks like breakfast treats and coffee to our teachers, please use the sign-up below to tell us what you will be dropping off.
