Due Tomorrow! DPI Survey Required for All Families -September 15

We currently only have 56 responses to a required form. Notre Dame Academy is required by the DPI to annually survey our families and record economic status. It is important that we gather responses from all families as this may impact our ability to obtain any government funding in the future. If you have multiple students attending NDA in the 2022-23 school year, please fill this out for EACH student by September 15.

Find this form by logging into your PowerSchool Parent portal and click on "Forms" on the left side to find the "DPI Household Income Survey" link.

Students who participate in extracurricular/athletic activities must be in school for the entire school day to be eligible for practices, games, events, etc.
