Spring Session
2025 Spring Session: February 24 – May 9 from 3:15 – 4:30 pm on school days. Some activities will begin earlier and/or end later than these dates. Take note of these differences for activities that you register for and plan accordingly.
Registration will be open February 1-10 for most activities. Some activities, including the Spring play, have a different schedule.
Register for activities offered by DaVinci Academy faculty and staff using the School Store in Infinite Campus. (Instructions for Activity Registration) Activity fees are due at the time of registration. Staff is secured and materials are purchased based on registration numbers and fees collected, which means that refunds and/or exchanges are not typically possible.
If an activity becomes full, it will no longer be available to purchase within the school store. To join the waitlist for an activity, contact Julie Kresh.
Activities offered by community partners will need to be registered for and paid for through them. Note: Taekwondo is an OFF-SITE activity.
*NOTE: DaVinci Academy DOES NOT offer bus transportation after activities. All children must be picked up from school promptly after their activity has ended.

For families who would like to apply for Educational Benefits, the form is now available online through Infinite Campus.
