Week 33, Design Families!

Designers,

We’re stepping into Week 33, and the energy on campus is real. This time of year always hits a little different—in the best way. There’s momentum, there’s reflection, and there’s a whole lot to celebrate.

First up, Senior Prom. What a night! From the fits to the dance floor to the memories made, it was everything it needed to be and more. Huge shoutout to our seniors for showing up, celebrating each other, and creating a night that will stick with you long after graduation. Photos from prom will be added soon so stay tuned! At the same time, Senior Projects are in full swing and this is your moment to finish what you started. Seniors, stay locked in. Keep pushing, buckle down and finish strong. You’re close, really close.

We’re also in the home stretch of state testing, and our juniors have been putting in the work. Thank you for showing up, staying focused and pushing through. Your finish line is just around the corner, and that’s what matters!

And just like that…April is wrapping up. This month has been full — full of growth, challenges, wins, and moments that remind us why we do what we do. As we head into the final weeks of the year, this is where it all comes together. The habits, the effort, the community all culminates now.

So as we move through Week 33:
Stay focused.
Stay connected.
Finish strong.

We’re not done yet, and the best is still ahead.

Here is the schedule for this week:

Staff Appreciation Week is Here!

Dear DVD Families,

Teacher Appreciation Week is right this week, May 4th–May 8th, 2026 and we’re excited to celebrate our incredible staff!
We’d love your help in making the week extra special by providing some treats (coffee and breakfast items) so they can enjoy in the morning.

  • If you’d like to bring a treat, please sign up in this sign-up genius to bring item(s) during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4th thru May 8th)

Please label all items “For DVD Teacher Appreciation” and deliver them to the first-floor reception area. Or you can also send it with your student. We’ll make sure they make it up to the fourth floor for our staff to enjoy!

Here are some of our staff’s favorite treats:

  •  Bagels/breads
  •  Donuts
  •  Cookies/Brownies/Pastries/muffins
  •  Fruit
  •  Coffee
  • Thank you for helping us celebrate and show our staff how much they mean to our community! Your support truly makes a difference.

With appreciation,

DVD Admin Team
