Greetings Designers and Design Families,

Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner — May 5th–May 9th, 2025 — and we’re excited to celebrate our incredible staff! We’d love your help in making the week extra special by providing some treats or words of appreciation  for our staff to enjoy. If you’re interested and willing, please use the links below to support Staff Appreciation Week.

  • If you are willing to write notes of appreciation Your kind words mean so much to our team! NOTES HERE
  • If you’d like to bring a treat, please sign up below to drop off goodies on select mornings during the week of May 5–9. TREATS HERE

NOTE: Please label all items “For DVD Teacher Appreciation” and deliver them to the first-floor reception area. We’ll make sure they make it up to the fourth floor for our staff to enjoy!

Here is the Bell Schedule for Week 33 at DVD:

With the end of the semester and POLs approaching soon, it is time for our last round of progress reports. Progress reports are being mailed home next week on May 9th. The purpose of progress reports is to give families the opportunity to have a snapshot of student progress, and to be able to have a conversation at home with students about how to stay successful in school. This information will also be used by teachers and counselors in their plans to support all students. Please follow up with your child’s teachers directly with any questions about assignments or grades.
