Open House – Save the Date
Planning is underway for the 2022-23 school year. No matter what challenges we face, our community of DaVinci Academy educators and staff is here to give the very best to our students and families!
We are very excited to welcome families back on Thursday, August 4th for our Back to School Open House. It is highly recommended that you plan to attend the open house, as back to school information packets will not be mailed home. Families will receive all back-to-school information during the open house. You will meet your teachers, tour classrooms, receive your class schedule(s), as well as your back-to-school packet(s).
The open house is also a great opportunity to get information about school meals, after school programming and sports, receive help with Silent Dismissal and Infinite Campus, drop off school supplies, and most importantly, connect as a community!

Application for Educational Benefits
Your child(ren) may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. To see if you qualify, or apply, complete the linked Application for Educational Benefits following the instructions. A new application must be submitted each year. At public schools, your application also helps the school qualify for education funds and discounts.
Kindergarten Family Conferences
Our amazing Kindergarten teachers will be contacting all families to schedule in-person conferences which will take place August 9th & 10th. Families and students will have a chance to see the classroom, drop off school supplies and meet with their teacher to discuss the upcoming year.
Thanks!
School Supply Drive
At the Open House we will be hosting a School Supply Drive! If you are able, we would be so grateful for any donations towards this cause. All donated items will be used to support our DaVinci Students this school year! Refer to the flyer link below for details regarding the most needed school supply items.
Thank you in advance for your support!
If your student is in need of support with school supplies, uniforms, or any other things please stop by the School Social Worker’s table at our Open House and she will help ensure that your child has the necessary items to start the school year off with success!
Thanks!
Volunteer as an Interpreter!
Do you speak Arabic, Oromo, Amharic, Urdu, or Tibetan – and fluent in English? If so, we would love your help during our open house to assist families where English is a second language. We are looking for individuals to help from 3:00 – 7:00pm
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Dan Rhinhart at drhinhart@davincicharterschool.org.
