Week 10 Heading Our Way at DVD

Posted on by

Design Family, Welcome to Week 10! We have a lot happening! 

Before we get to Week 10, we need to share some pictures from Senior Sunrise 2025!

Senior Sunrise 2025!

Seniors got up early to spend some time together and see the sun come up! More memories to add to your year, Class of 2025!

SAT/PSAT School Day: The DVD SAT/PSAT School Day is on Thursday, October 23rd! All PSAT and SAT tests will be digitally administered. It is crucial that students arrive at school on time. Per College Board rules, students will not be able to participate if testing has already begun. Questions should be directed to Mrs. Pailin, DVD Assistant Principal (kpailin@davincischools.org).
    • 9th Grade: PSAT 8/9
    • 10th Grade: PSAT/NMSQT
    • 11th Grade: PSAT/NMSQT
    • 12th Grade: SAT (opt-in registration deadline has passed)

 

Da Vinci School Surveys via KELVIN

We invite you to take a few moments to complete the Da Vinci Schools Family Survey. Your feedback plays a vital role in shaping the learning environment at your child’s school and across our entire organization.

The KELVIN survey will be sent via email on Monday October 20th.

Your honest input helps us celebrate what’s working and identify areas where we can improve.

Thank you for being a valued part of the Da Vinci community!

 

Parent Advisory Committee (PAC)

We’re looking for parents and guardians who want to lend their voice and ideas to help make Da Vinci Design the best it can be! Our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meets throughout the year to provide feedback, share perspectives, and partner with our school team on initiatives that support all students.

If you’re interested in joining or learning more, please reach out to Samantha Navarro, DVD Principal, at snavarro@davincischools.org. Your input truly shapes our community — together, we can continue to strengthen the Da Vinci experience for every student.
