Week 2 Updates (Campus is Open Today)

Posted on August 21, 2023 by Russell Stoll

Good Morning Designers & Families,

We hope you all stayed safe and stayed dry this weekend! As was announced over the weekend by the Da Vinci School central office, Da Vinci Design (along with all of the schools at 201 N. Douglas) will be open for classes today. Depending on weather, we will likely do a “Plan B” rainy day lunch schedule today, allowing students to eat on the 4th floor. We will confirm and announce this in Advisory for students. Please drive to campus safely today, and we will see you soon.

Each week, you can expect to see a blog post here wrapping up the previous week (often with shout-outs, highlights and photos) and announcing the upcoming week’s bell schedule along with other important dates. Last week was a great week! A great way to kick-off the new school year. Day One started as it traditionally does, with teachers cheering in students and gathering together for an assembly, and then heading off to Advisory for games and introductions. See pictures below from our First Day of School!

This week, students will have a chance to select their Seminar classes. Seminars are classes at the end of the day where students may choose a class based on their interest like a sports/fitness seminar or a fun skill-building seminar like crochet or music appreciation. Student may also be enrolled in an academic support seminar to get extra help or tutoring.

Here is the bell schedule for DVD Week Two:
